"Maneki Kuma, the Luck-Qee Bear" by Valerie

Valerie just sent over some photos of her custom Qee that she created for the upcoming Genuine Artikle "Qee2Life" custom show going down on 12.12.09. This cool custom is titled "Maneki Kuma, the Luck-Qee Bear" and she used acrylic paint and ink, genuine black onyx, leather, and sculpy to create this Asian inspired custom. Valerie says that "He is my bear version of the Japanese "Lucky Cat," or Maneki Neko." This deffinitly turned out great, and you should check out this piece in person as well as alot of her other customs and creations in her etsy store HERE!
