little spring thicket & bird (tall)

This wood girl takes her design cues from the 'spring thicket' design by William Morris - the exuberance of spring when everything starts to go mad is perfectly pictured in the design, with bulb flowers and blackthorn style blossoms - with my signature dots added for this girl's dress. On her head a little blue tit has landed.

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 24cm high.

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