Althea is a 16.5” tall original folk art flower doll. She’s been created from muslin & fiberfill & is hand-painted top to bottom. She’s been sanded & antiqued & has such a lovely patina & old-fashioned appeal. Althea is sealed with matte sealer so that she may be lightly dusted after display.

Her cutesy polka dot petals have been applied securely by hand. This little girl has an embroidery thread loop attached, making her suitable for hanging. She may also sit with assistance & would look lovely perched upon a bookshelf. Her knees are sewn through.

AprilMayHeadToToe

Meet sweet April May. April May was inspired by the above saying. She stands 17″ tall from the tip of her “rain”-soaked umbrella to her base. April is 15″ tall from the top of her head to her base.  She’s been made in the style of a stump doll. (She has no legs.) She’s been made of muslin & is stuffed with fiberfill. Her base is rag-stuffed & lightly weighted so that she stands nicely. April May 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. Her arms are button jointed.

The hem of April’s dress features hand-stitching as does her blouse. There is hand-stitching along the neckline, sleeves & back.
