I saw a picture of this little one online and something about her called to me. That psychotic little smile...who knew what shenanigans the little scamp had been up to.
The picture had the title Six Years Old Berry Picker Laura Petty, Maryland (1909)
Sculpting her little teeth proved to be a challenge (but worth the effort) and I decided to give her lighter blonde hair and, obviously, her little basket of berry surprise, so her doll is my version of her, not an exact copy, although I hope I have managed to capture some of her cheeky charm.Laura wears an old tartan dress, that is grubby and frayed and a matching large floppy bow in her gorgeous soft blonde hair.
She carries a basket of freshly picked raspberries, with a little surprise poking out (basket can be removed from her hand).She comes with a custom made stand, her photo and a small gravestone nameplate. A signed Certificate of Authenticity is included and the piece will arrive in a sturdy goth style custom made packing box.
Laura has wired limbs that can be gently posed by holding the wire.
The entire piece is 16" tallThis one is also available on my Etsy. If a double sale occurs I will honour whichever sale was first.
__I design and sculpt each piece, then sand, paint, pastel, costume, wig and accessorize.
Each doll is a unique and one-of-a-kind original sculpt and cannot be recreated.These are handmade items and as such there will be the odd fingerprint, brush stroke, dropped stitch, spot of glue or other tiny 'flaws' - just like in us all. Any holes, fraying stains or marks on the clothes are part of the overall design of the doll.
My sculptures are mixed media and intended as an adult collector's item for display only - please handle with care. Clothes are not removable and hair is not to be brushed. Keep away from direct sunlight and water (yes, just like a Gremlin!)
Only the items named in the listing are included, all other items or dolls are props for the pictures only.
