Some of us hide our light under a bushel, not Aydan. She is a firey spirit who brightly proclaims her personality to any and all who come near her. No one will confirm this, but I think she is really a sun spirit that has been sent here to earth to bring some of her own warm personality to those of us who need a little warmth and a little more light and color in our lives.

Aydan is holding a lantern hand carved and painted by my mother.

She sits 4" (10cm) tall and is 6 1/4" (16cm) from toe to toe.

All of my dolls are OOaK (one of a kind) made from patterns of my own design, no 2 are ever alike. Days in the making each one grows into a being with its own personality.

They make excellent decorations all year round. They are for display only, they are not made to stand up to children’s play or contact with chewing pets.

Quilter’s cottons and batiks are my favorite materials for bodies and I use new polyfil to firmly stuff them, occasionally for long thin limbs and fingers I will also use chenille stems. The faces are drawn/painted on with prisma color pencils, fabric dye pens, Lumiere paints and 3d Crystal Lacquer to give dimension and shine to their eyes. Their poses are fixed.

All it takes is an invitation from you to join your family and this delightful little character will be happy to come spread some fairy magic and joy in your home, though sometimes they feel a bit mischievous they seldom act on such impulses.
