Description Full view best! My version of a wood wife. Top is needle sculpted cloth with beading over wire and cloth armature, bottom is curly willow branches. The dress is handmade collage fabric that is impossible to photograph...trust me it's gorgeous in real life...with a tulle skirt and leaves made of more collage fabric. She stand just under 2 feet tall and has a little mushroom bird on her finger. Detail here: [link]

Oh, she's truly enchanting! I can't think of any other word. The vines are lovely, and her hair is fascinating with all the varied shades and textures. I think she is one my favorites of yours so far

HasturCTS [2007-08-30 23:01:02 +0000 UTC]

That's your best one yet. The tree branch bottom is inspired! She's cute and the colors are so natural, I can imagine her hiding in a tree where no one can see her. Wonderful!

She's gorgeous-- I love the tree branches. Very clever!

Out of curiosity, what's needle sculpted cloth?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

fairiesnest In reply to LemonWitch [2007-08-31 12:52:57 +0000 UTC]

Thank-you! Needle sculpting is just using a needle and thread to "sculpt" the cloth and stuffing. It's a way to make a cloth face or body look more realistic.

Like the willow branches as it's her feet. Just walked out of the forrest.
Wonderfully made. Nice coulers in green.
Mushroombird, how did you come of that idea ? It's great.
And of course, love her ears...

bye
Sheila
