Lucinda, A Young Clown & her Tiny Primitive Friend

This little gal is Lucinda. Like all of my dolls, she is my original design and is guaranteed one of a kind art! She is 27" tall & has been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Lucinda & her sweet elephant friend have been hand-painted & sanded, top to bottom many, many times. They have been treated to a series of paint washes, making them look "oh so vintage" & like little dollies loved so very long ago. Lucinda’s arms are lightly wired allowing her to be slightly posed.

Lucinda’s face has been needle-sculpted by hand and hand-painted. Her bottom lip ‘pouts’. She has been painted with various media. Lucinda’s fingers have been needle-sculpted by hand. She sports painted white gloves. She has been sealed top to bottom with a combination of glossy & matte acrylic sealer so that she may be lightly dusted after display & kept a lifetime.

Lucinda also sports the coolest pair of painted wingtips in shades of brown with striped pink & white socks!  They are highly detailed, right down to the laces.

Lucinda’s apron dress is made from two super cute 100% cotton prints. Lucinda’s blouse is made of muslin & features hand-gathered sleeves, a white, puffy voile collar & vintage buttons. Lucinda’s clothing as well as her sweet little elephant’s skirt features tons of hands-stitching! All visible hems have been hand-stitched. Lucinda’s clothing has been treated to a coffee and lavender bud bath for a truly aged appearance. It was then hand-washed & pressed with linen water.

In addition to her dear friend, Lucinda also carries a pink balloon. It has been made of muslin, painted & stained. It is attached to Lucinda’s hand with a rusty wire. Lucinda’s elephant is jointed with several strands of heavy duty thread & can be posed in many different fashions. She can stand & sit.

Lucinda’s hair is curly brown 100% dyed wool. I’ve lightly glued, then carefully needle-felted it to her head. Her hair is ‘parted’ and styled into low, wild pigtails & tied with chocolate ribbon.
