Media:fabric, acrylics, embellishments Dimensions:9.5" Date of Work:2009
Noel has bright blue eyes and long blond curls.
She's made of my own design without the use of a commercial pattern.
I've used unbleached muslin for the top portion of her body and hand painted it with acrylics.
Her red top is painted and embellished with tiny glittery beads that I attached with acid free glue.
Her tail (bottom half of her body) is gorgeous deep red silk dupioni. She wears a waist band of white hologram sequins. Additional sequins enhance her tail along with crystal acrylic snowflakes.
Her long curls are fibers glued to her head. She has LOTS of hair so you can style it behind her shoulders or hanging down in front.
She's made in a primitive fashion - her arms are attached with button joints so you can move them up and down. I've tied festive red fibers around her arm joints.
In her left hand I've sewn a glittery white snowflake.
A red cord is sewn thru her head for hanging.
She is stuffed with soft polyfil.
Noel is approximately 9.5" tall from the tip of her tail to the top of her head.
