Birdie happily spends most of her days in the woods behind her house whistling and gossiping with the birds who have always been naturally drawn to her. The local woodsmen made Birdie a chair with the wood from a fallen tree and the birds carved the chair posts with their beaks! She also proudly, (and carefully), wears a robin's nest with eggs on her head until the eggs hatch.
I sculpted Birdie from polymer clay and painted her body with acrylics and her face with oils. She measures about 9" while sitting, (she is not posable). She can be removed from her chair though, and perched on a shelf or table. I made the chair from Mulberry tree branches and mossy bark, with carved polymer clay bird finials. The chair has a metal post on the seat, (seat is covered with faux suede), which allows the doll to be seated securely on her chair. Her hair is dark brown viscose and mohair and her bird's nest hat was made with moss and polymer clay.
Her dress is handsewn cotton with a black tulle under skirt and her shoes are brown suede,(her clothing is not removable). Her bird friends are also sculpted with polymer clay and painted with acrylics.
