lumina pumpkin

This sweet little girl is Lumina. If you’ve seen my previous dolls, you’ll know that this dolly is a little different than the dolls I normally create. Lumina is a 12″ tall doll created of paperclay, fabric & paper mache cone. Her head and torso have been sculpted by hand without the use of any molds. She has a paper mache cone as a base. She has no legs. Her arms are made of muslin, have been stuffed, painted & are button jointed. Lumina has been hand-painted top to bottom a couple of times & has such a lovely, aged patina. She’s been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display.

Lumina’s sweet face has been painted with a variety of media. Her paperclay face has lots of dimension & a great little pout (similar to my fabric dollies!) Her stem is accented with tendrils made of rusty wire.
