in the daisy meadow

Artist's notes on style, materials and inspiration:

A girl with a dotty collar who has a little horse standing in a daisy meadow on her head.

Turned from American Tulipwood, a sustainably managed timber, my pieces are turned on a lathe by a production wood turner in the UK to my designs, then added to and painted by me, a British artist. She has had a pine miniature dala horse added, then has been hand painted and finished in a matt acrylic protective top coat. The artist signature is a painted bear head on the base.

This girl is approximately 13.5cm in height.

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.

PLEASE NOTE: Wood girls should be kept away from water which can damage the wood and painted surface, and also away from direct heat/ sunlight which also can affect the surface colour and the timber itself.
