Chloe, a Sunny, Yellow Fluttery Thing

ChloeHeadToToe

Welcome Spring! That’s what this little doll says to me! Those first few rays of spring sunshine after a long snowy winter are completely heart-warming. Those rays were the inspiration behind sunny little Chloe.

Chloe is 14.5″ from the top of her head to her toes & has a wingspan measuring 12.5 inches. She has been made of muslin & is stuffed with fiberfill. Her base has been rag-stuffed & is lightly weighted so that she may stand nicely. She’s 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. Chloe has been made in the style of a ‘stump’ doll, meaning she has no legs.

ChloeFace

This sweet little face has been painted with a variety of media. Chloe’s nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand, giving her face a great bit of dimension & a beautiful pout. She has needle-sculpted hands as well. Her hand-painted, muslin wings, which are attached by vintage mother of pearl button, have been machine-quilted & stained.

Chloe’s brown hair is 100% mohair. It appears more golden than is seen in the photographs. It has been applied with light glue for extra security & needle-felting. Her hair is styled into loose, messy buns with two wisps left around the face.  Sprigs of dried sweet annie have been inserted into her hair & may be removed if you wish.
