Daruma Lantern

This paper lantern shaped wood girl has a daruma face inspired decoration - his big old grumpy face suits this shape! She has a decorative brass hanging ring and can be displayed hanging up if desired.

My pieces are painted in a naïve and simple style, with visible brush strokes and differing paint consistencies. It is important to note that these dolls are made from real wood which will have naturally occurring markings and grain, and sometimes there will be small amount of bleeding along the grain, or knots, which is to be expected when using untreated wood - please make sure you consult the pictures carefully before purchasing. She has been finished in a top coat of matt acrylic.

A note about 'Wood Girls'
This girl was turned by a production turner to my design, and then hand painted in the U.K. by me, a British artist. I love exploring the patterns and scenes encountered by me on my travels and in daily life.

Stamped underneath with 'blue bear' in red ink.

Approximately 25.5cm high, including the extended hanging ring.

Please note: THIS IS NOT A TOY and should be kept out of the reach of children.
