Folk Art Doll with vintage dress and jointed Teddy Bear

Description

Introducing "Rosanna and her bear Louie".

Rosanna is 27” tall and is made from aged osnasburg. She has a needle sculpted nose, and hand sewn eyelids. Her painted features have been sealed to prevent fading. Rosanna has a full head of chestnut sheep’s wool hair that has been hand dyed, and then needle felted in place. She has a scrap fabric head band and bow in her hair decorated with tiny pink ribbon roses.
Rosanna is wearing a three piece outfit; pink striped pantaloons with cotton lace trim, a matching pink floral under dress with ruffled sleeves and pink velvet ribbon, then an authentic vintage cotton and handmade lace outer dress that was purchased at an antique store. It must have been a baby’s gown at one time. It has been tailored to fit Rosanna, and embellished with a monogram “R” button, and pink ribbon.
For the finishing touch, I’ve added a vintage picture tag reproduced from an original vintage post card (It is one of my favorite pieces of ephemera). It has beautiful roses printed on the front that I’ve embellished with glitter and ribbon roses.
Teddy bear “Louie” is 10” tall and is made from a pattern by Sweet Meadows Farm. He is made with Ivory plush felt. He has jointed arms and legs, (so he can be posed), black button eyes, and a hand stitched nose. I’ve attached a vintage style key to his heart, and given him a pink velvet ribbon bow and silk ribbon roses.
