Clementine, A Fairy Tale and Fable Doll

 

Clementine is a little Fairy Tale and Fable doll inspired by the rhyme Oranges and Lemons. Dressed in a Liberty Lazenby Cotton called Orchard Garden she has oranges all across a teal ground with leaves and flower buds.
Her apron is embroidered and appliqued with an abundance of oranges, lemons and blossom. I have to say it was the fabric that gave me the idea, so rich and colourful to make a delightful little doll. She sports a teal woolly hat and little felt teal boots with white socks. As always she is properly dressed with white knickers in broderie anglais beneath her dress. Her underskirts are teal shot cotton and white tulle lace. I just love her colours.
Clementine is currently at The Eden Gallery in Newburgh with two friends.
