Chamomile, A Summer Mouse

This is little Chamomile, I showed a peep of her a while back. She was created as part of a set of animals for a gallery open call. I withdrew her from the show as they wanted them in frames!! Her dress is buttercup Essex Linen heavily embroidered with chamomile flowers in a meadow setting. She has Liberty Capel underskirts with white tulle lace and borderie anglais drawers. Within her stuffing and her sachet she has chamomile flowers with a piece of citrine to her heart. Tiny yellow leather shoes finish her outfit with golden organza ribbon and tiny buttons.
I did not want to put her in a frame, she is to be held and her fragrance is part of the charm. I find great joy in holding them, for many moons I made personalised samplers and they are held behind glass. Having them in my hands and free to breathe is important to me xx
