This is Fiona. Fiona has a lovely, well-mannered family.
Well, almost. Sometimes, she and her little brother, Ziggy, get a little wild on their bicycles.
Sometimes Mama yells and waves her paws in the air. It’s funny when she does that.
Sometimes Fiona and Ziggy play Pat-a-cake.
Or they play with Ziggy’s car, on the handmade quilt Mama made just for Fiona. It has a hand-embroidered blue butterfly in the center. Fiona and Ziggy pretend it’s real and try to pounce on it.
When Fiona gets tired, she loves to take a nap under her quilt.
Mama hand stitched her quilt from pieces of cotton fabric she had from the dress she made for Fiona. It has a pretty blue ribbon at the waist. Fiona tries to keep it clean and neat, like Mama says.
Fiona like to pretend she is a kitty model while she wears it. She imagines she is on the catwalk and everyone is taking her picture.
Sometimes she even pretends she is a kitty underwear model, but only in her room with the door shut!
Then she usually takes another nap.
Once she’s rested, it’s time for another bike ride with Ziggy!
Fiona is approximately 10 inches tall when standing and approximately 6 1/4 inches tall when sitting. Her curled tail helps her to sit up. She is made from 100% cotton fabric which is painted with acrylic paint. Her face is sculpted from paperclay with painted thread whiskers that were inserted before the clay dried. She is from my own original pattern and was handsewn and handsculpted by me, Elizabeth Ruffing. No molds were used. She is a completely original and one-of-a-kind art doll. Fiona is signed and dated, and She is sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. She is meant for display only. She comes with a hang tag, a certificate of authenticity, and a copy of her story.
Fiona comes with her handmade doll quilt and her lovely original dress. They are also made from my own design and patterns, as is the hand embroidered butterfly in the center of Fiona’s quilt. The quilt measures inches square and it painstakingly quilted with little hand stitches. It is made from 100% cotton materials. (Bicycles, doll stands, and other dolls shown are not included. Little brother Ziggy can be found here and Mama Hedda can be found here.)
Fiona and her doll quilt are currently available for $425.00. Please inquire to [email protected]
“Fairies and Butterflies” is an original watercolor painting of little girl fairies watching yellow butterflies.
I am making a limited number of reproductions of this image as a signed giclée print, on 8 1/2 by 11 inch art paper.
Two fairies are knee-deep in a field of pink tulips. Butterflies are flying all around them. One fairy is laughing and enjoying them, while the other seems somewhat disconcerted by them. I liked the idea of a meeting between the two types of winged creatures. They are enclosed in a border of pink columbines.
