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.

Ava, whose heart flutters for the winged creatures.

AvaTorso This sweet little gal is Ava. She is my original design and is guaranteed one of a kind art! I’ve used no patterns to create her, her bird or her clothing. Ava is 31″ tall. Her sweet feathered friend is 4″ tall & 8″ wide from beak to tail. They have been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Ava’s lower torso has been rag-stuffed & bean filled in order to weight her little bottom. I’ve hand-painted & sanded Ava & her blue bird top to bottom many, many times. They’ve been treated to a series of paint washes which make them look oh so vintage. Ava’s arms are lightly wired allowing her to be gently posed.

Ava’s facial features have been needle-sculpted and hand-painted. Her bottom lip ‘pouts’ while her top lip is simply painted. She has big brown eyes, peachy lips & rosy cheeks. Her fingers have been needle-sculpted (by hand). Ava & her bird have been painted with premium acrylic paints and shaded & highlighted heavily with oil pastels. They have been sealed top to bottom with glossy acrylic sealer so that you may dust them lightly after display & keep them for a lifetime.

AvaHand AvaShoes AvaFaceProfile

Ava sports light blue painted gloves & brown boots with pretty light blue socks. Her shoes have been painted & heavily detailed, right down to the laces!

Ava’s apron skirt has been constructed of taupe osnaburg. It has such a lovely texture! Her blouse has been made out of white muslin & features hand-gathered sleeves & a pretty collar. Ava’s skirt & blouse feature tons of hand-stitching! All visible hems have been hand-stitched (skirt, sleeves & collar). Her clothing has been treated to a coffee and lavender bud bath for a semi-grubby, aged appearance. All pieces were then hand-washed & pressed with linen water.

AvaBirdNest AvaEggs AvaClose

Ava’s sweet little bluebird has been modeled after the Eastern Bluebird. She sits atop an angelvine nest with 7 light blue paperclay eggs that I hand-sculpted & painted. Nestled among the blue eggs is one truly beautiful speckled off white egg. Sometimes female birds will lay an egg in a nest that is not theirs. It is called egg dumping. I guess that’s where the pretty little speckled egg came from. This sweet nest is filled with green & brown preserved moss. Ava’s bird is made from 4 separate pieces. Her tail is attached with a vintage blue button. Her wings are attached with heavy duty button thread. Lots of hand-painted details on this bluebird!

Ava’s hair is black, 100% mohair. It has been lightly glued then carefully needle-felted to her head. Ava’s hair is styled into low, messy buns.

This little girl is available tonight beginning at 9:15. She will end Feb. 3 at 9:15 PM. As always Click here to view or Bid.
