Twig
This is an handmade textile artwork inspired by folk art.
I rarely name my dolls but as I was working on this little one, there was a moment when I knew she was named Twig.
So Twig is a mixed media artwork. She is made from textiles, found objects and her face is made of air drying clay.
She has a glass eye and beautiful light green/blue hair. She wears little flowers in her hair and has a little hood that can be put up or down (please be delicate when adjusting the hood position).
Her top is cut from a vintage doll dress and I have added a golden crossing pattern with shiny wool.
At her neck, a key is hanging.
Her skirt is made from a white feather and painted fabric.
Her shoes are painted black with red laces.
Her hands are attached on her arms in a kind of loose way. The same apply to the way her legs are attached to her body and one leg is definitely longer than the other. I love how it brings character and life to little Twig.
She measures approximately 23 cm and she is signed.
She has a little loop on her back so she can be nicely displayed on your walls. She cannot stand nor sit.
This is not a toy.
As a doll maker inspired by folk art dolls, I want to say that the fabric fraying, the threads still showing or the way things are attached to each other are all voluntary processes. This is the way I find that my creations are beautiful. This is how I feel they are unique and original. It shows their frailties, flaws and their strength altogether.
I am working with upcycled materials mostly.
