Margot, A Primitive Fluttery Girl

MargotHeadToToe

Imagine discovering this little girl flitting about your flowerbeds!

Meet Margot. She’s been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She measures 14.5 inches tall from head to toe with a wingspan of 11.5 inches. Margot is best displayed hanging as she has an embroidery thread loop attached to her back. Her pretty blue wings which have been machine-quilted & hand-painted, are too large to allow her to sit properly. Margot has been painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. She’s been sealed with a combination of glossy & matte sealers so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Margot’s wings are attached to her back with a vintage button & embroidery thread.

Margot’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand giving her a perfect little pout. Her hands have been needle-sculpted as well. She sports painted taupe gloves. She also sports painted brown boots with taupe socks & detailed tan laces.

    Hi Rebecca,
    I added your link to my blogspot. I love your work so much. Look at my mother’s primitives at my site and make some suggestions. I’m working on what I call Nova’s Project (Dave’s Great-Grandmother was Nova.

    I struggle with writing and use my site to practice.Savannah and I would love to visit you and Dave. Also, sister Karen and her family love your work.

    Love the poetry, also, but haven’t seen but one piece so far. I gave your link to granddaughter Savannah so she can read you…she’s a poet, too. Tell Dave she’s a Kings of Leon Fan, too.

    I admire your talent very much!
