Take a look at Lorelei, isn't she amazing? It is hard to believe that this face is hand painted. The artist is Cindy Sowers. And the costuming! Black crepe silk, hand-beaded/sequined and slate glass seed beads and machine brocaded silk charmeuse.
She is button-jointed at the shoulders, Swarovski crystal bead and copper wrapped wire joints at knees and elbows. Wired fingers and topped off with a beautiful hat.
That is a lot of work! But that is what you get when you buy handmade: quality.
Cindy has a lot more to offer at her Etsy Shop. She has mermaids, an Egyptian Queen, fairies and - Lorelei's twin!
Shop Etsy , the place for all things handmade and you will be pleasantly surprised by all the fine artists you will find - including Cindy.
Cindy's dolls are fantastic~it's so nice to have her as a new addition to ADO!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine, Deena. I thought you said you were putting me in a treasury, Deena girl. I didn't realize you were actually sending me out in the world :) Thanks, doll-ing! -- Cindy
ReplyDeleteKelly here from IOLCC - I am so glad you posted Cindy's doll - it truly is beautiful. I was fortunate enough to be working the Dimensions show a couple of weeks ago and so I got to see this one (among many) in person. Her attention to detail is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI agree - I love the face of this beautiful doll - it looks so realistic!
