This is another commission, Edith was quite happy for me to share. This little bird isn't going as far as Holland she is off to Farington Moss, a village about four miles away!
Well another Christmas robin and this time in winter white fir trees on scarlet, its a lovely fabric by Moda from the range Winterberry. As always with these little birds, she is heavily embroidered to give the feel of feathers, both on her head, breast and wings. She has a piece of rose quartz at her heart for love and is stuffed with lavender and mint to take a little of Astley Village with her. Her sachet is all lavender as requested and is embroidered fabric rather than a sampler, again as requested. Machine made cord and organza ribbon with tiny buttons finish her outfit.
She is embroidered both sides of her body for a finer feel but she also has a brass ring on her back so that she can hang as well as sit quietly or top the Christmas tree. There is a definite front and back to these dolls, as you would expect but the ring is easily removed with a quick snip of the scissors if not wanted. She is number five of eleven ordered for Christmas this year, which is great because I really love making them, especially all the embroidery. Thank you to Edith for being happy to share.
