"Sad Ellie & Shleepy"

This sweet "Sad Ellie & Shleepy" pincushion is a one-of-a-kind design.

She's made entirely from very long sparse Sassy fur and floral cotton fabric for the inner ears. She has been meticulously airbrushed and sculpted. She has a jointed neck and arms, which have been wired to bend in different positions, so she can hold her precious "Shleppy" doll in her arms. She has German glass eyes, and wears a hand dyed cotton and lace dress, decorated with a white bow made of the same fabric. She's further decorated on her head with a cotton fascinator made from the same hand-dyed fabric and lace and some small flowers.

"Shleepy" has been entirely sculpted by me, from modeline clay, then baked to make it durable, and finally I have joined the arms and legs to the body/head with some wire and seed beads. He has been dressed with flannelette fabric and the tiniest buttons.

Sad Ellie stands on a pincushion made of cream felt that's been airbrushed to simulate grass. The actual pincushion sits inside a paper-mache box base that has been covered with the same cotton fabric featured inside Ellie's ears. I decorated the pincushion with a green ribbon bow and some flowers.

"Sad Ellie" is 5" (13cm) tall and just under 8" (19cm) tall including the pincushion.

Her adoption price is $450 USD (shipping cost included)

Sorry, I've been adopted.
