Full description
A OOAK anthropomorphic artdoll in the guise of a dancing deer. I hand sculpt the head and body, then hand paint the finished piece, adding a coat of antique wax as protection. The hand stitched costume is carefully made using vintage and antique fabrics and trims.
I created her skirt from a salvaged section of a C1920's hand embroidered crepe bedspread, with pretty floral design. I added patches and a button for interest and a paper label hand stamped with her name. Beneath this she wears chiffon leggings and lace panties.
Her bodice was made from an antique embroidered silk. She has chiffon sleeves, made from a c1930's salvaged sleeve. She has metal thread braid shoulder straps and a felt flower corsage at her neckline. Real vintage mink fur trims her waist and neck.
She is approx: 32cm tall. Ideally, she needs a doll stand to hold her safely, or stand her carefully propped up on a shelf, plus she has a hanging loop, should you wish to hang her up. Please keep out of the reach of young children - she is designed as a collectable for display only.
Designed by Niki Fretwell in rural North Devon
