A Curly-headed Little Red Riding Hood
July 13, 2009 By 2 Comments
Sometimes you just need another person in your wolf pack.
I’m sure this familiar duo needs no introduction. This curly haired Little Red is 14.5 inches from head to toe, while her little friend measures 6 inches top to bottom. She has been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She’s been hand-painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. Little Red has an embroidery loop attached making her suitable for hanging or she may sit with assistance. Her knees are sewn through making her a great shelf sitter. She’s been sealed with a combination of glossy & matte sealers so that she may be lightly dusted after display.
Little Red’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand giving her a pouty look. Her hands have been needle-sculpted as well. She sports brown painted gloves. She also sports brown boots with red laces & tan socks.
Little Red’s blouse is made of white muslin. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline and back. It is finished off with tiny black buttons at the neckline. Her cape is made from dark red polka dot fabric, while her skirt is an muted blue & brown ticking stripe. The hem is hand-stitched & Little Red’s cape ties with two chocolate ribbons.
Little Red’s charming purse has been made of dark brown wool. It features embroidery in shades of blue & red & a huge, vintage, mother of pearl button on the front.
Her curly hair is brown, 100% mohair. It has been applied with light glue for extra security & needle-felting. It has been parted & pulled to the side. Little Red is available on Ebay. She will end July 19th at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view or bid.

Not this little girl. Besides, he’s rather sweet beneath that rough & tumble exterior. I suppose all it took was a little taming really.

Hey There Little Red Riding Hood…
May 12, 2008 By 5 Comments
This little girl needs no introduction!! Little Red Riding Hood & her pet Wolfie have been so much fun this week! This doll set is my original design and is guaranteed one of a kind art! Little Red is 30″ tall. Her little wolf cub is 10″ wide (excluding tail) & 10.5″ tall. Both art dolls have been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Red’s lower torso has been rag-stuffed & bean filled, weighting her little bottom, so that she sits nicely. Both dolls have been hand-painted & sanded, top to bottom many, many times & have been treated to paint washes, giving them rich, deeply-aged patinas. Red’s arms are lightly wired allowing her to be slightly posed.
Red’s face has been needle-sculpted by hand and hand-painted. Her bottom lip ‘pouts’ while her top lip is simply painted. She has been painted with various mediums & She has been sealed top to bottom with a combination of glossy & matte acrylic sealer so that she may be lightly dusted after display & kept a lifetime.
Red’s fingers have been needle-sculpted by hand. She sports buttery, yellow painted gloves. She sports painted brown boots & buttery, yellow socks with Red laces, truly fitting for this little girl!
Red’s cape has been made of corduroy & lined with a sweet red floral print. It features hand-stitching around the hood & ties at the neck with two chocolate ribbons. Her blouse is made of white muslin & features hand-gathered sleeves & sweet a collar finished with an off white glass pearl. Red’s apron dress is made from a tan, twig & berry 100& cotton print. Both the dress & blouse feature tons of hand-stitching! All visible hems have been hand-stitched (dress, sleeves), as well as the back of the blouse.
Red’s sweet little wolf cub has been made from nine separate pieces. His legs are attached with vintage buttons as is his tail. His face has been needle-sculpted by hand. He is highly detailed & features blue eyes. He can sit on his own.
Red’s hair is wavy brown 100% mohair. I’ve lightly glued, then carefully needle-felted it to her head. It has been twisted to the side then fashioned into a low side pony tied with chocolate ribbon.
(All week I’ve gone through the house singing “Hey there little red riding hood….” & Hungry Like a Wolf! Thanks, David Cook! Hmmm, what will I sing around the house this week? )
Little Red Riding Hood & Wolf are available on eBay Sunday May 11th at 9:15 PM EST & will run through Sunday May 18th at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view or bid on this darling set!
