I’m working on three sculpted darlings for the PFATT Marketplace updated on the 1oth at 10:00 AM EST.
They’re sculpted, waiting in line for the oven & need a little paint to make them really come alive! Each piece will be a special Marketplace price of $60.00
A pigtailed witch, a kitty & a prim little pumpkin!
See you at the Marketplace!
It takes a super sweet girl to be Pumpkin Queen, but make no mistake…this little girl can keep all those soon-to-be-Jack-o-lanterns in line! Meet Camille. She’s a 17″ original, one of a kind muslin & fiberfill creation. She’s been hand-painted top to bottom and has been sanded & aged, giving her such a lovely, vintage patina. Camille has been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display. She has button jointed arms which may be slightly posed. She has been made in the style of a stump doll & has no legs.
Camille’s face has been been carefully painted with a variety of media. Her nose & lips have been needle-sculpted by hand, giving her a great little pout. Her hands are needle-sculpted as well.
I just adore this sweet Moda Halloween print. It is 100% cotton. The hemline has been hand-stitched. Camille’s blouse is made of white muslin & features a beautiful vintage rhinestone button at the neckline. The button is speckled & shows wear but is such a lovely addition to such a regal doll! Camille’s sleeves have been gathered by hand. The neckline of her blouse & back of her blouse features hand-stitching.
Camille’s super sparkly wand is a paper clay creation With a dowel insert. It has been painted & festooned with Martha Stewart glitters. I have to say, Martha Stewart glitters are so fun to use (play with!) And they’re beautiful. The amount of sparkle is unmatched! Paperclay leaves have been attached with rusty wire.
Camille’s auburn hair is 100% mohair. It has been attached with light glue for extra security & needle-felting. Camille’s sparkly crown has been constructed of cardboard, held together with eyelets, painted, glittered & sealed. It is attached to Camille’s head with corsage pins.
Camille is currently available on eBay & will end Sunday, Sept. 19 @ 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view or bid!
This sweet pumpkin head is Priscilla. She’s 15.5″ tall from stem to base. Priscilla has been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Her lower torso is rag-stuffed & weighted so that she stands nicely. She’s been made in the style of a stump doll & has no feet. Priscilla’s been hand-painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. Her head is partially made of paper clay. She’s been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display.
Priscilla’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her stem, leaf & pumpkin head is fashioned from paperclay on fabric. Her curly tendrils are rusty wire. Priscilla’s nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand giving her a perfect pout. Her hands have been needle-sculpted as well. Her arms are button jointed. She sports brown painted gloves.
Priscilla’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 apron skirt is made of 100% cotton fabric in a beautiful green tonal print by Moda. The hem is hand-stitched with brown thread.
Priscilla is a free-standing piece & is sure to bring the perfect touch of whimsy to your autumn & harvest decorations or to your Halloween collection.
