Merry, A Christmas Elf in Shades of Green

MerryHeadToToe

Meet Merry. Merry measures 18″ from the tip of her hat to the tip of her tiny curled toes. She’s been made of muslin & is stuffed with fiberfill. Merry has been hand-painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. She’s been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Merry has an embroidery loop thread attached, making her suitable for hanging. She can also sit with assistance. Her knees have been sewn through.

Merry’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand, giving her face a great bit of dimension & super sweet little pout. Her hands have been needle-sculpted. She sports brown painted boots with detailed laces.

I just love all these prints together! They’re 100% cotton. I’ve hand-stitched the hem with olive green thread. Merry’s blouse is sewn from taupe osnaburg & features hand-stitching at the neckine, sleeves & back. A vintage button graces the neckline. Her tiny party hat is constructed from cotton fabric, is edged with warm & natural batting & is lightly stuffed. It’s attached to Merry with straight pins.

Merry’s super curly brown hair is 100% mohair. It has been applied with light glue for extra security & needle-felting.

Merry is now available on eBay. She will end Sunday, Nov. 22 at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to bring this cheery elf to your Christmas home!
