yuzu wobble girl

Artist's notes on style, materials and inspiration:

Several years ago I made a series of 'fruit girls' mini print postcards, and my favourite was the yuzu - now come to 3D life as a wood girl.

This little girl, who has a rounded bottom so that she gently wobbles, has a stalk made from a real twig with a painted wooden leaf.

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 from American Tulipwood by a production turner to my design, and then added to and 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 a 'blue bear' in red ink.
Approximately 16.5cm high.

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. THIS IS NOT A TOY, and should be kept out of reach of children.
