Jolie, a Spring Fairy Sure to Bring Some Green to Your Garden!

JolieHeadToToe

This is Jolie. And I must say, her name suits her well! Meaning ‘pretty’ in French, this little girl is just that! Jolie measures 15 from head to base. Her skirt extends another 2 inches past her base. Jolie’s wings measure 12″ across. She has been made of muslin & is stuffed with fiberfill. Her base has been rag-stuffed & is lightly weighted so that she may stand evenly. 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.

JolieTorso  

Jolie’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand, giving her face a great bit of dimension & a beautiful little pout. She has needle-sculpted hands as well.

Jolie’s blouse was fashioned from white muslin. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching along the neckline & back. A vintage mother of pearl button at the neckline adds detail. Jolie’s underskirt is made from muslin. The hem has been hand-stitched. Her overskirt consists of three layers of gathered sparkle tulle. Its subtle & beautiful glimmer adds to Jolie’s loveliness. 

JolieLeaf

Jolie’s wings have been made from quilters muslin & batting. They’ve been machine-stitched, hand-painted, aged, sanded & sealed. They’re attached to Jolie with a vintage mother of pearl button & embroidery thread.

Jolie’s light brown hair is 100% mohair. It has been applied with light glue for extra security & needle-felting. It has been pulled to each side & styled into loose ringlets.

Can you tell that my seed & plant catalogs have inspired me? This lovely rose is Dawn. Dawn is 17″ from top to bottom. She has been made of muslin & is stuffed with fiberfill. Her lower torso has been rag-stuffed & is lightly weighted so that she may stand nicely. Dawn has been made in the style of a stump doll. She has no legs.

Dawn 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.

Dawn’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand, giving her face a great bit of dimension & a beautiful little pout. She has needle-sculpted leaf hands as well.  Each lovely petal surrounding Dawn’s face has been individually sewn & cut. They are turned so that each edge has a nice smooth finish. They have been individually hand-sewn to Dawn’s head.
