We think she has a very sweet expression, more like a young lady rather than the mature, disapproving and stern look that most 17th century examples have. The antique doll has this same sweeter expression.
The wonderful and very early fabric worked up great and with our "magic touch", looks like its been on this doll for over 300 years. (see the detail photos) Combine this and the great patina work we have accomplished on this doll and she looks every bit the antique.
We hope everyone enjoys seeing this lovely young lady.
UPDATE:
We just received a very nice comment on this doll from the new owner and wanted to post it above the dolls photos. Thank you!
"I just received this doll as a birthday gift and can confirm that she is even more spectacular in person--I really feel as though I am looking at a genuine antique. As I live in a circa 1690 home, she is the perfect addition to my decor. Amazing craftsmanship, thanks!"
David and Paul she is absolutely gorgeous! I don't know how you do it or who does the sewing and who does the carving but you are both incredible artists and it is always a pleasure to view your work.
ReplyDeleteThis sweetheart is no exception, she looks so authentic it is magical. I'm in awe!
