Gazou

......................................................................................
I belong to Camille's series

I'm a prototype of a new kind bear.
I'm born from a very dense of short-piled mohair
of a beautiful russet color
I'm hand-stitched carefully (no sewing machine)
for a perfect sculpture.
I'm fully 5 ways jointed with disks and cotter pins,
I'm padded like classical bears, with exelcior mixed with kapok.
I have beautiful squinting german glass eyes.
My nose and my claws are embroidered with a dark brown
cotton thread. My paw pads are out of
an ecru upholstery silk fabric.
I'm wearing a charm key of brass with Swarovski around my neck,
and a big daisy crocheted from cotton thread by Nadine.

I'm 15" high when I stand up and 11" sitting,
and I weigh almost 1 lbs.

Me.. so small and you... such tall!
I raise my eyes to you... and this gaze asks you to hug me tenderly...
...to give me a small part of your heart, because you hold all mine...
Pulling the petals off my daisy I tell you that I love you...
I don't love you...
...you love me... you love me not... you love me... I love you... :o)
My love for you won't be fragile, ever,
it won't be never the ephemeral's flower
which is the beauty of some hours.
Hugging me against your heart, you'll know it's the truth.
