Easter

Lila & Tots.

March 9, 2009 By Rebecca 2 Comments

This is Lila & her tiny family. Each doll has been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Lila measures a little over 10″ tall from head to toe. She stands on her own as her base is rag-stuffed & bean-filled. Each doll has been painted & sanded a couple of times, giving them lovely, aged patinas. They’ve been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Lila’s little lambs are constructed of 5 separate pieces & have been button jointed.

Lila & family have been painted with a variety of media. Lila’s ears & nose has been needle-sculpted by hand. She sports brown painted gloves & even has a cute, striped underskirt painted on her base.

Lila’s blouse is made of white muslin. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline and back. It is finished off with two, vintage mother of pearl buttons. Her apron dress has been made from a 100% cotton red berry & vine print. The hem features hand-stitching.

These lambs are about 4″ long. The gently napping lamb is just shy of 3″ tall while his alert sibling stands a little over 4″ tall.

These little guys are now available on Ebay. They will end March 15 at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view or bid!

PWGL GALLERY HOP — Florence & Tink, Primitive Easter Bunnies

March 2, 2009 By Rebecca 1 Comment

Let me introduce you to Florence & Tink! They’re absolutely guaranteed to fill your home with lots of smiles. (And hopefully, not too much mayhem!)

Florence & Tink have been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Florence stands freely as her base is rag-stuffed & bean filled. Tink resides in a super cute Easter egg purse which is not removable. Tink, however, is removable & can be displayed on his own.

So much handwork went into the construction of these dolls! I admit, most of it, you can’t see, as so much of the construction requires hand-stitching. But–each bunny has hand-quilted ears & Florence’s wee fingers have been needle-sculpted as well.

Each doll has been painted & sanded a couple of times giving them lovely, deeply aged patinas. Each doll, as well as the egg purse, has been sealed with matte varnish enhanced with a protective UV filter.

Florence’s clothes have been made from taupe osnaburg & 100% cotton prints. There is hand-stitching around the sleeves, neckline, back & hem. Florence’s blouse features decorative stitching with blue embroidery thread that matches perfectly her egg purse. The handle on this purse is braided embroidery thread. Tucked inside it, is a tiny bed of muslin grass!

Florence measures a little over 12? tall. Tink is a petite 4?. They will arrive signed, numbered & dated & with a certificate of authenticity. This is doll #92.

These dolls were made especially for our first ever Prim & Whimsy Gallery Hop. Click here to purchase. Hurry, it’s first come, first served! And don’t forget to see what other items my Prim & Whimsy sisters have for sale!

A Sweet Easter Bunny Sure to Brighten Your Spring.

February 25, 2009 By Rebecca 2 Comments

Meet Moll. This little girl has been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She measures a little over 14″ from those sweet ears down to those cutesy boots. Moll has been painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. She’s been sealed with a combination of glossy & matte sealers so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Her knees have been sewn through. She comes with a loop attached to her back making her suitable for hanging although Moll can sit with assistance (if propped).

Moll’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose has been needle-sculpted by hand. Her little paws have been needle-sculpted as well. She sports brown painted gloves. She also sports painted brown boots with tan locks & taupe laces.

Moll’s blouse is made of taupe osnaburg. It has such great texture! It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline and back. It is finished off with huge, vintage, mother of pearl button at the neckline. Her apron dress consists of two beautiful 100% cotton prints. The hems feature hand-stitching in a chocolate brown thread. I’ve attached vintage mother of pearl buttons to the skirt for added detail.

Moll will be available on Ebay tonight beginning at 9:15 PM EST. (Link will not be active until that time.) She will end March 1 at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to make this little sugar yours.
