Berea Craft Festival Preview!

I’m so tickled to be participating in the 30th annual Berea Craft Festival, held in Berea, Kentucky. Today I’m busy wrapping dollies in bubble wrap, securely packaging them for travel & crossing items off my to-do list….and working on finishing a couple of dolls before this weekend’s show.

Here are a few examples of the newness I’ve created especially for the Berea Festival. There’s LOTS more. If you’re near Kentucky, come on out! Enjoy the music, food, art & hopefully, sunshine!

There’s more to be seen this weekend July 8-10th! www.bereacraftfestival.com

Angeline — Keeper of the Lambs

This sweet lady is Angeline. She’s approximately 15″ tall from the top of her head to her base. She’s a muslin & fiberfill creation & is made in they style of a stump doll. She has no legs & stands on her own as her base is lightly weighted. She’s been hand-painted top to bottom and has been sanded & aged, giving her such a lovely, vintage patina. Angeline is sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display.

Angeline’s face has been been carefully painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand, giving her face a great bit of dimension. Her hands are needle-sculpted as well. Angeline’s beautiful white wings are machine-quilted, painted, stained & sanded & are covered in vintage-style German glass glitter. They sparkle brilliantly! They are attached to Angeline with a vintage, mother of pearl button & embroidery thread.

This fabric is part of one of my favorite Moda collections! It is 100% cotton & is so supple to the touch. The hem has been stitched by hand. Angeline’s blouse is made of white muslin. A vintage, grey mother of pearl button adorns the neckline. There is hand-stitching along the back, neckline & sleeves.

Aren’t these little guys the sweetest? They are made of five separate parts, button jointed. Each lamb measures 5.5″ long and 6″ tall. They’ve been hand-painted, aged & sealed for durability.

Angeline’s hair is 100% mohair. It has been secured to her head with needle-felting and a little glue for extra durability.

Angeline is now available on Ebay. She ends Sunday evening April 10th at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to make this little angel & her sweet friends, yours.
