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.

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!

Viv, a Primitive Girl Who Dreams of Spring.

VivHeadToToe

This little girl will make your forget you ever had the winter blahs! Meet Viv & her sweet spring lamb.

Viv & her lamb are my original designs. They’ve been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Viv measures 15.5″ tall from head to toe. She sits nicely on her own. Her lower torso is rag-stuffed & bean-filled in order to weight her little bottom. Viv & lamb have been painted & sanded a couple of times, giving them lovely, aged patinas. Both dolls have been sealed with a combination of glossy & matte sealers so that they may be lightly dusted after display. Viv’s knees have been sewn through, making her a great shelf sitter. Her arms are lightly wired so that they may be gently posed.

Viv’s blouse is made of white muslin. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline. It is finished off with a vintage button. Viv’s colorful skirt is made out of four 100% cotton prints! They’re so folksy & charming! The hem features hand-stitching in a contrasting brown thread. Viv’s clothing was treated to a lavender bud/coffee bath for a slightly aged appearance. All clothing was then hand-washed & pressed.
