Melisa's Bears...

...is pleased to introduce a teeny tiny teddy bear

"Philo"

~*~ on a 7 day listing with No Reserve! ~*~

I'm pleased to introduce this teeny little teddy bear. He is named Philo (meaning "to love"), and his tiny 1 ½ inches (seated) is full of personality!

I've created Philo to be a dollhouse miniature. He would look so sweet on a bed or sofa, or in a miniature collection of teddy bears.

I don't often create a bear this tiny and this is the first time I have created one with a doll house in mind, so I decided to offer him with no reserve!

Philo is a one of a kind artist teddy bear completely designed and hand sewn (no machine sewing) by me, Melisa Nichols. He is a true one of a kind. I will never be able to create another baby just like Philo. I do not work with patterns - just from photos and drawings, so there is no pattern he can be remade from.

Philo is made from synthetic mini bear fur.

Philo's sweet baby face is full of detail. His face has been thread sculpted, scissor sculpted and hand shaded. He has soulful black glass teddy bear eyes. He has a tiny stitched nose. I will never be able to create another teddy bear exactly like Philo.

Philo is completely hand sewn and filled with polyfil, pellets (in his tummy), and an extra portion of cuddles. He is fully armatured for lots of fun poses! 

If you have any questions or comments about Philo, please email me me... I'd love to hear from you! If you'd like to be on my mailing list, please let me know – I send out an email whenever I have a new creation ready for ebay.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing all of Philo's pictures. Thank you for visiting his auction!

*******************************

Philo will arrive in a special box with hang tags that include his birth date, a picture of him and a signed Certificate of Authenticity. He is a collectable teddy bear made for display only - not suitable for children due to small parts. Any props I may use in my auction photos are not included in the auction unless otherwise stated.

Thank you to everyone who views and collects my soft sculptures! You've made every auction such a fun & enjoyable experience and I truly appreciate your appreciation and support!

All my soft sculptures are created in a smoke-free home.

Free shipping is by surface mail which usually takes 1 1/2 to 2 weeks to US destinations and 6 - 8 weeks to overseas destinations. Please contact me for a quote if you would like to use Xpresspost instead which takes about 3-5 days to US destinations and about 6 days to overseas destinations.

***FEEDBACK*** ~ I strive to do my best to make each auction a 5 star one - a five star rating is very important to me. Please consider giving me 5 stars in each area if you are happy with your purchase. Please be aware that I am in northern Canada and ship from a small town, so while I will get your package to the mail within 3 days of payment, I am not responsible for shipping delays - please rate my shipping time star based on my keeping my word as to my handling time. If you feel that you can not give me 5 stars, please contact me so I can do my best to fix any problem or address any concerns you may have.
