Cloth Art Doll - circus or contemplation?
Who is this doll? She's one of my earlier dolls, now looking for a home (preferably near a trapeze). She's colourful, whimsical and has a gentle countenance. I'm pretty sure she belongs on stage though. Permanently dressed to perform (or party?), but not adverse to lounging about on straw bales, she has an air of calm contemplation about her.
Construction & details
Handmade and unique - this OOAK art doll is 17" / 45cm tall
She has button jointed shoulders and hips, allowing for some movement. Some movement is also possible at her elbows and knees.
I often recycle fabric - especially some of the lush materials I used in my theatre days. So, the base layer is a newy bought cotton and the rest - variuous gorgeous fabrics and lace from costumes gone by! She's embellished with other fabrics, mesh, beads, boa, ribbon, trim and a few pieces from my recycled jewellery box. Her hair is a chunky acrylic yarn.
I use paints, chalks, varnish (for a shiny shoes look) and glue.
For sale: £80.00
She is currently available on the UK site 'Crafter's Market'. If you're not in the UK, but interested, please drop me a message.
