Miriam, A Midnight Collector

Miriam, the collector, is a little midnight mouse named for Miriam Rothschild and her collection of fleas. The dress fabric is called The Collector by Liberty and it is based on the ideas of the victorian collector's cabinet of curiousity and also Arthur Lasenby's own collection.
Dark green ground with a collection of precious objects in ornate bell jars. Her dress is finished with tiny buttons, organza ribbon and a little sampler sachet in black hardanger with greens and whites to tone.
As always her facial details are hand embroidered and she has rose petals to her stuffing with a rose quartz crystal to her heart. I am enjoying the detail of her shoulder buttons, they have the look of victorian jet.
