It’s
very easy to guess Daisy’s favorite flower. Daisies grow all around her
cottage, and on summer mornings you may see her walking about admiring
each and every one of them as they bend and tilt in the gentle breeze.
|
 |
|
Now and then Daisy picks one, and
carries it with her until she goes back into the house. She puts it in
a vase on the kitchen table, which is covered with a daisy tablecloth.
|
 |
| A friend of Daisy’s once asked her
if she knew the little game of “loves me, loves me not”, in which you
pluck one petal at a time from a daisy, and the last remaining petal
tells you whether or not you are loved. |
|
|
|
Daisy puzzled about it for a
minute. Then she said “Why would I do that to a daisy? Besides,
everybody loves me!”
Daisy, of course, was right. She loves everybody, and everybody loves
her.

Daisy is an original one-of-a-kind
work of art, and is meant for display only. No molds are ever used in
my work. I sculpted Daisy and her flower from paperclay, and hand
painted her with acrylic paints. Daisy’s old-fashioned dress is painted
in soft blue with a pale hydrangea blue pocket and polka dots. The
ruffles around her neckline and pocket are painted soft ivory to match
the petticoats that show below her hemline.
|
 |
| Daisy is signed and dated, and
sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. |
 |
| Daisy
is 5 and 7/8 inches tall. She comes with a hang tag, a certificate of authenticity, and a copy of her story. |

Many
hours go
into the making of
each of my dolls. I strongly believe in fine craftsmanship and
artistry,
and I pay great attention to small details. Each doll is a
unique work of
art, and I am able to produce them in only a very limited number. I do
my best to
create little dolls with big personalities because that is what I love
to do.
