"Gladys and George

"Gladys and George", named after a dear couple of friends of mine who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary not long ago. Still very happily married after all these years... :0)

 

George is about 4 inches/ 10cm tall and Gladys a tad shorter, made from very long pile mini fur. She's sitting and he is (as you can see) standing. Both are fully jointed, but only George has armature in his arms.
Gladys wears a dress made entirely from vintage rosewood lace, decorated with a brass flower brooch and pearl. Her hat is handmade from silk and decorated with netting feathers and flowers. She also has a beautiful little purse made by me.
George is a handsome fellow, wearing a black pair of pants, a shirt and vest. He also has a handmade cap which he holds in his right hand.
They stand on a wooden base covered with an antique doily which has been airbrushed, and decorated with silk, velvet flowers, and a pearl necklace.
Gladys sits on a handmade velour stool. The postcards you see, are real vintage ones that I have shrank and printed on hard cardboard
