I’m so happy to introduce to you, Annie: A Good Night Fairy. She is my original design and is guaranteed one of a kind art! Annie is 18″ tall with a wingspan of 9″. She has been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She has been hand-painted & sanded, top to bottom many, many times & has a rich, deeply-aged patina. Annie’s arms are lightly wired allowing her to be slightly posed. Her knees are sewn through, allowing her to be displayed in many fashions. She has a hemp loop attached for hanging & can sit up when propped, making her a perfect shelf sitter.
Annie’s sweet face has been needle-sculpted by hand and hand-painted. Her bottom lip ‘pouts’ while her top lip is simply painted. She has been painted with various mediums & 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.
Annie’s fingers have been needle-sculpted by hand. She sports buttery yellow painted gloves. She also sports painted brown boots with buttery yellow socks. Her high boots are highly detailed right down to the straps & buttons! Good thing she knows MAGIC, else she would NEVER get those boots on and off!
Annie’s dress is made from a 100% cotton cream striped print. Annie’s blouse is made of white muslin & features hand-gathered sleeves. Her collar is finished with a yellow star button. Annie’s dress is finished with two vintage wooden buttons. Both the dress & blouse feature tons of hand-stitching! All visible hems have been hand-stitched (dress, sleeves, collar), as well as the back of the blouse. All clothing has been dyed in a coffee/lavender bud bath for a slightly aged appearance. It was then hand-washed & pressed with linen water.
Annie carries a sweet star perfect for you to wish upon. It has been made from muslin, hand-painted & sanded, hand-painted & sanded again, and finally sealed with a matte sealer. It is attached to Annie’s arm with loops of thread & is not removable.
Annie’s can be posed in many positions when propped–on the edge of a shelf, sitting, or hanging. In the above photo she is propped against an antique cheesebox.
Annie’s hair is curly brown mohair. I have slightly glued, then carefully needle-felted it to Annie’s head. It is styled in wild side ponies.
