Folk Art Doll with Reversible Dress with Silk Embroidered Floral and Silk Brocade

Description

“'I am still sort of surprised that this is what I do,' says Stephanie Barnes as she sits at her sewing machine in Barneche Design, her cozy studio-shop in Chichester, NY. Shelves on the walls around her are filled with bolts of fabric—some regional vintage pieces she has collected, as well as many from the Far East. Tall stacks of antique cigar boxes hold her sewing notions and in the shop area are the tables and armoires her husband, David Seche, crafts from recycled wood, and the jackets, bags, scarves, hats, children’s dresses, and dolls that are the products of her own artistic imagination. “

All of the folk art dolls are one of a kind and each girl doll has on a reversible dress. Each boy doll wears a contrasting bow tie and pants. The dolls are made from luxurious fabrics like silk, brocade, Jacquards, vintage cotton, obi and kimono and vintage bark cloth. Much of Stephanie's inspiration derives from the textiles themselves. Each doll measures 16” tall and 6” wide at the shoulders. They are stuffed with polyester fiberfill.

This doll is made of a chocolate brown,blue and silver silk. One side of the dress is made from an iridecsent blue silk with dusty rose embroidered flowers. The reverse is from a powder blue silk brocade.
