Fhylip (ooak, art doll, brownie)

Description

Fhylip has been a traveler in his time. As he has roamed the lands he's been a helper to all kinds of creatures, large and small, his particular favorites are horses and ponies. In the course of his travels he has also been a tender of plants, what a handy little fellow he has been. Alas, he has wearied of always being on the move and is ready to find a home. Which could be a happy turn of events for anyone who would appreciate his funny face and kind eyes as company.

He is approximately 4" (10.5cm) tall and 2 1/2" (7cm) wide.

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.

Standing and flying dolls have a loop attached to hang them, from a shelf edge, a tree branch or where ever you would like a little magic.

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

Like the other brownie dolls he is all handpainted, the base color is beige and the brown bark like pattern on his lower half is a mix of lumiere fabric paints, as are his green hands.

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.
