Primitive Fairy Deer

About this item

The stag in Celtic mythology is a symbol of the forest, in some Irish and Scottish folklore they were seen as 'faery cattle' I can see why. This leaping stag is straight from a fairy tale. He is hand and machine stitched and hand stained to give him an old primitive feel. He has wood antlers and a wool tail. He is embroidered with stars and a rusty tin star and little bells embellishes his proud neck. Running stitches on each leg meet a Victorian bone button taken from old Victorian work shirts. On the wooden pole is a wooden heart he stands on a little wooden stand. ( big log not included). If your seeking something truly original and hand made with love this is definitely for you or someone you know. This piece measures: 34x 11 cm approx

  • This beautiful custom order from Alex has bowled me over. The attention to detail is fantastic and her imaginative use of fabrics is great. I now have three little masterpieces from this lovely, friendly seller and hope to buy more in the future. Until then keep on creating Alex, you are very talented at it.
