Ooooh, I just love the way this sweet little Christmas Chick make-do turned out. She is a bit more shabby chic than Prim, but I love her all the same. I can see her standing proudly next to a white feather tree on a sideboard in some lucky duck's Christmas decorations! :
This sweet gal measures in at 20", 25" to the top of her sweet party hat adorned with tinsel balls! She's made of natural muslin that has been painted. Then I used a clay over cloth technique and sculpted her 3-d head and beak and chestplate. She is mounted on a vintage wooden candlestick base that is painted a wonderfully antiqued robin's egg blue to match her ruffles and tinsel trim in her dress!
Speaking of her dress…I just love this warm faded fabric I found…it coordinates so well with all the robin's egg blue trim and has a nice texture to it. I stitched big full gathered sleeves and a slip gathered skirt and then trimmed it in a nicely gathered robin's egg blue ruffle before handstitching the blue tinsel in place.
This sweet Christmas chick is holding an aged bottle brush tree that I have painted and adorned with teal/aqua german glitter glass. In her other hand is an old star shaped cookie cutter that I have also trimmed in the same glitter glass!
This sweet Christmas Chick is a Prim and Proper Folks original design and will come to you signed and dated. As with all my creations, she was made in my smoke-free studio and will ship via FedEX 2 day delivery in my special Prim and Proper Folks packaging! Please let me know if you have any questions…I'm only an email away! Best wishes…Susan
