Rosetta – A Sparkly Garden Fairy.

April 10, 2011 By Rebecca Leave a Comment

Meet Rosetta. She’s my newest creation & is my offering for April’s PFATT Marketplace update. Rosetta is an OOAK (original, one of a kind) paperclay creation. She will not be reproduced.

Rosetta is 10.75” tall with a wingspan of 5”. She is a wee little charmer for sure! Rosetta’s head is made from paperclay over Styrofoam armature, securely sculpted to a papermache cone base. Additional paperclay details include Rosetta’s leafy collar & the petals of her beautiful skirt. Rosetta is a free-standing doll & because she was built on a cone base, she can also be used as a lovely tree topper in your shabby-chic or romantic, Victorian home.

Rosetta has been hand-painted top to bottom with a variety of media in several layers. She has a great vintage patina & lots of texture! Rosetta has been sealed with matte sealant, but has a slight sheen.

Her wings are machine-quilted muslin. The front of Rosetta’s wings are heavily dusted with vintage-style glass glitter. They are securely attached to Rosetta’s body with embroidery thread & vintage, mother of pearl buttons.

Rosetta can be purchased here. Make sure to check out the many wonderful offering by members of the PFATT (Primitive Folk Art Talk & Tea) Marketplace members.

Just the sight of this little girl has me craving egg nog & humming Christmas carols.

Meet Arella. She is 16″ tall from the tip of her sweet annie halo to her base. She’s been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She’s been hand-painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. Arella’s base is rag-stuffed & weighted so that she stands nicely on her own. She’s been made in the style of a stump doll, meaning she has no legs. Arella’s been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Her arms are button jointed allowing them to be slightly posed.
(I am still in the process of getting my picture-taking space set up in our new place, so please forgive the quality of these pictures. If you like Arella in the photographs, you’ll LOVE her in person. She is so breath-taking & sparkly!)

Arella’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand, giving her a perfect pout. Her hands have been needle-sculpted as well. She sports brown painted gloves.

Arella wears a white muslin blouse. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline and back. It is finished off with a grey mother of pearl button at the neckline. Arella’s skirt is made of two layers of sheer white voile on top of a layer of cotton batiste. Each hem features delicate hand-stitching.

Arella’s sparkly wings are made from muslin & cotton batting. They feature vintage style glass glitter, machine-quilting & are attached to Arella with a large, mother of pearl button. Her little dove is a muslin/fiberfill creations & is button jointed. He is nested in a burlap cone filled with sweet annie. A silver-glittered star is wired to the cone.

Arella’s hair is 100% mohair. It is strawberry blonde in color & has been applied with light glue for extra security & needle-felting.
It is styled in a beautiful, messy side bun.

Aria has been hand-painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her such a lovely, aged patina.

Aria’s skirt consists of three super delicious 100% cotton prints in coordinating reds. Each hem is hand-stitched with red thread. (I think she’s ready to go dancing in this flouncy little skirt!)
