Beatrice is completely hand sculpted and painted in acrylics, pastels and artists pencils. Her dress is made from found and vintage fabrics and laces, hand dyed or tea stained and all hand stitched. Her hair is lambswool and she has glass eyes. She measures approx 10-12" tall and are completely pose-able.
Layaway is available. See my Policies for more details. http://www.etsy.com/shop/loopyboopy/policy

All dolls are entirely hand made. You may well see tiny stitches, perhaps a fingerprint in the clay or paint or spots of glue here and there. Tiny imperfections and signs of a handmade item.
I can not do custom work or take requests for color of hair, dress or dress styles etc... nor do I re-create sold pieces. I am an artist and my heart goes into every piece I create. I hope you can see and feel that in my work. I have a creative process and flow which is interrupted when I try to work within someone elses ideas and or visions. Hopefully I will create a piece that speaks specifically to you.
