Winnie–a Halloween Party Girl

October 4, 2009 By Rebecca Leave a Comment

This little girl just can’t wait for her Halloween party or for the candy that will soon fill her spooky trick-or-treat bucket!

Meet Winnie. She’s been waiting on Halloween for quite a while. Winnie is 18.5 inches from head to toe (including her hat). She’s been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Her lower torso is rag-stuffed & weighted so that she may sit up nicely. She’s been hand-painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. Winnie’s been sealed with a combination of glossy & matte sealers so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Winnie’s arm is lightly wired, allowing her to hold her trick-or-treat bucket.

Winnie’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand. Her hands have been needle-sculpted as well. She sports brown painted gloves & brown boots with light yellow socks & grey laces.

Winnie’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, green buttons at the neckline. Her skirt is made of 100% cotton in a pretty peachy/orange print. The hem is hand-stitched That little pointy hat is made of muslin & has been hand-painted, sanded & aged. It is held in place with straight pins.

Doesn’t this little guy make you smile? He’s a paper clay over styrofoam creation. He’s been hand-painted, aged & sanded. His handle is fashioned from rusty wire. He simply hangs on Winnie’s little arm.

Winnie’s black hair is 100% mohair. It has been applied with light glue for extra security & needle-felting & is styled into messy side buns.

Winnie will be available tonight, Oct. 3 at 9:15 PM EST. She will end Oct. 10th at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view or bid. (Link won’t be active until listing begins.)

Hazel, the sweetest Trick-or-Treating Clown Around

October 6, 2008 By Rebecca Leave a Comment

This sweetie, inspired by last weekend’s trip to the circus (FUN!), is Hazel. Hazel is one of the cutest trick-or-treaters to be found, I do believe. She has been painted & sanded, top to bottom many, many times & is sealed so that she may be beautifully preserved. Hazel has a weighted torso allowing her to sit nicely. She was lightly wired arms & measures 16″ tall from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. Including her balloon, Hazel measures 18″ tall.

Hazel’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand.

Hazel’s fingers have been needle-sculpted as well. She sports white gloves. She also sports pretty brown boots complete with tan laces & pink socks.

Hazel’s blouse & ruffled collar have been made from white muslin which has been treated to a coffee & lavender bud bath for a slightly aged appearance. It was then washed & pressed. Hazel’s apron skirt is made from two beautiful 100% cotton prints in shades of brown & tan. Hazel’s collar ties in the back with chocolate ribbon & features two vintage, pink buttons. Both pieces of clothing feature tons of hand-stitching! All visible hems have been hand-stitched, as well as the back of Hazel’s blouse & her collar.

Hazel just couldn’t go trick or treating without a sweet, pink balloon to keep her company. This balloon has been made of muslin, painted, sanded, aged & sealed. It is attached to Hazel’s arm with rusty wire.

Hazel’s gonna fill this bucket with all the candy it can hold! Made of paperclay without the use of any molds, this ghostly trick-or-treat bucket measures a bit over 4″ tall & is 3″ wide. It has been painted, aged, sanded & sealed for protection. The handle is constructed from rusty wire.

Hazel’s hair is brown 100% mohair. (It does not appear as red as the photos suggest.) It was lightly glued & carefully needle-felted to her head. It is parted & styled into messy side buns.

Hazel is currently available on Ebay. She will end Sunday, Oct. 12th at 9PM EST. Click here to view or bid!

A Halloween Trick or Treater sure to frighten your pants off.

September 22, 2008 By Rebecca 2 Comments

Okay. So maybe she’s not spooky at all. But she will take all your candy. If you let her.

This sweet little trick-or-treater is Sadie. And Sadie wants to fill her special pumpkin bag with as much candy as it can possibly hold! Sadie is my original design & is guaranteed one of a kind art! Sadie has been painted & sanded, top to bottom many, many times & is sealed with a combination of sealers so she may be beautifully preserved. She has a weighted torso allowing her to sit nicely. She was lightly wired arms & measures 17″ tall from the tip of her ears to the bottom of her pretty boots. Her pumpkin bag is 3.5 inches tall & a little over 3.5 inches wide.

Sadie’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand.

I’ve needle-sculpted Sadie’s fingers as well. She sports grey gloves. She also sports pretty brown boots with mustard yellow laces & dark grey socks.

Sadie’s apron skirt has been made from a black & cream 100% cotton print. Her blouse is made from muslin & features a vintage button & tiny glass beads along the collar & hand-gathered sleeves. There’s tons of hand-stitching on this doll. All visible hems have been hand-stitched. Sadie’s collar & the back of her blouse feature hand-stitching as well. Sadie’s muslin wings, which have been hand-painted & sanded, have been machine-quilted.

This pumpkin bag has been made of osanburg. It’s has an inside lining & has been hand-stitched along the top edge. It has been hand-painted (outside only) & is finished off with a chocolate ribbon handle which I’ve looped around Sadie’s arm. This pumpkin is removable.
