RESERVED for Theresa, NFS
Hand embroidered collectable cloth doll

Francine, standing at 13'5" tall, handmade from doll velour in doll face pink.
She has beautiful big brown eyes, I spent many hours hand stitching her facial features to achieve her individual personality then embroidered flowers to her face, one arm and leg in soft neutrals with added terracotta threads.
Her lovely thick hair was made from alpaca boucle yarn, cut into lengths then individually hooked to a coiled wig cap, a long process but it hides the scalp through the hair. Finished with a torn piece of red check fabric in a bow.
Francine was a labour of love, a traditionally styled heirloom doll she is fully jointed with cotter pin fitments to her neck, arms and legs making her fully poseable.
She wears long cotton pants in stone, edged with crochet lace and finished with little bows. Her dress took me a few attempts, made from a lovely rusty brown cotton fabric with ditsy print, little puffed sleeves, a ribbon to the waist and mock buttons to the back. She wears a white petticoat with lace edge and deep brown faux leather shoes which I have embroidered with tiny flowers.
A hand dyed wool boucle shawl in deep greens with a splash of yellow-green is fastened with a button.
She carries a hand embroidered wool felt heart filled with lavender.

She is an adult collectable, and is not suitable for children under 14.
Postage will be special delivery to ensure adequate insurance.
