Clarice - All in Apple Green


This little Rhoda doll is Clarice and she is all in apple green Tilda fabric called Apple Bloom.  The fabric is just lovely and its design reminded me of Clarice Cliff's pottery.  Maybe not enough orange but evocative of that period.  

As always she is made from a tea dyed calico body with a hand embroidered face.  Her hair is apple green wool tops that has been hand styled.  She sports a jaunty little crocheted hat and a tonal scarf with bead detail - her piny is vintage lace and just sets off her outfit.  She stands 50cm tall and has a tiny waist with a comfortable plump bottom.  She sits well or could hang with a brass ring as she is very light.  She has stripy legs, with coordinating knickers and underskirts with a net underskirt for lift.  The net is horrible to work with as it needs to be pinned to excess to stop it slipping but it does give a lovely lift to the skirt.  

Looking at her you could believe that spring is on the way, I hope you like her and I am very pleased to share her with you.
