Monika A one of a kind original lovingly crafted by Ingrid Gilbert of Ellery Bears New Zealand Monika is on a 3 day listing! Monika  measures in at approx 4½" (standing) Monika  is crafted from beautiful vintage mink fur. Her RECYCLED fur has been fully lined for durability. She is a lovely white/cream shade. Her paws & footpads are beige/cream ultrasuede. Monika's  nose is hand sculpted & her mouth is embroidered with floss. Her little features have been needle and scissor sculpted, then gently shaded for added personality. Monika  is fully jointed & her sparkling eyes are premium black glass. She is filled with polyfill, and sprinkle of tiny pellets for weight. I have placed armatures in her arms for gentle posing. Monika  wears a duo of pretty ribbons & tiny glas bead pendant. She also travels with her little enamelled teapot trinket box which is bejewelled with genuine Swarovski crystals. :o) All my little bears, and their buddies, are designed from ear to toesies by me, with great attention to detail and quality workmanship. They are fully hand stitched, and unless otherwise stated, any accessories are designed and hand crafted by myself also. All teddies and friends will arrive safely packaged, with a signed and dated Ellery Bears swing tag. They all have a tiny sewn in acrylic tag on their bottoms, and I give each of them a laminated photo ID card which shows their best photo and all their particulars. I create all my pieces in a non smoking home. Ellery Bears (and furry critters!) are intended as adult collectibles, and are not safe for little children. Please Note: I like to use fresh flowers in my auction pictures...the colours are delicious!! Due to international quarantine laws I am unable to send these through the postal system. Everything else in the pictures is included in the auction. Commissioned Bears Due to time restraints & family commitments I am unable to accept commissioned bears. My teds are available exclusively through eBay. As I do not maintain a website please view my eBay ABOUT ME page for examples of my previous work. Thank you for visiting my auction! If you have any questions, or would like to be added to Ellery Bears mailing list please feel free to email me..... Payment My preferred method of payment is Paypal. Within New Zealand I am also able to accept bank deposit or cheque. If you would like to use an alternative international payment eg bank transfer or money order please email me. Layby (layaway) is also fine, but please contact me first. Shipping I ship anywhere in the world for the same rate of US$9. Shipping to Australia is a little less at US$6, and within New Zealand it is US$4. I am always happy to combine shipping....just let me know! All items are sent via NZ Post Airmail Service. NZ Post has an automatic insurance cover on all packages up to NZ$250. For items over the NZ$250 limit, insurance cover is a flat rate of US$7. Buyer and Seller Protection In response to a recent increase in fraudulent emails being sent to bidders & buyers claiming to be from eBay, and offering 'Buy Now Options' or 'Second Chance Offers' I am now using the PRIVATE LISTING option for all my teds. Please note that anyone is still able to bid. The feature just hides all bidders identities in an effort to reduce these scammers ability to harrass us all! Thanks for working with me on this :o) Thanks again for looking! Have a terrific day! © 2004-2008 Ellery Bears NZ. All rights reserved. Place a Bid!
