This little girl needs no introduction!! Little Red Riding Hood & her pet Wolfie have been so much fun this week! This doll set is my original design and is guaranteed one of a kind art! Little Red is 30" tall. Her little wolf cub is 10" wide (excluding tail) & 10.5" tall. Both art dolls have been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Red's lower torso has been rag-stuffed & bean filled, weighting her little bottom, so that she sits nicely. Both dolls have been hand-painted & sanded, top to bottom many, many times & have been treated to paint washes, giving them rich, deeply-aged patinas. Red's arms are lightly wired allowing her to be slightly posed.

Red's face has been needle-sculpted by hand and hand-painted. Her bottom lip 'pouts' while her top lip is simply painted. She has been painted with various mediums & She has been sealed top to bottom with a combination of glossy & matte acrylic sealer so that she may be lightly dusted after display & kept a lifetime.

Red's fingers have been needle-sculpted by hand. She sports buttery, yellow painted gloves. She sports painted brown boots & buttery, yellow socks with Red laces, truly fitting for this little girl!

Red's cape has been made of corduroy & lined with a sweet red floral print. It features hand-stitching around the hood & ties at the neck with two chocolate ribbons. Her blouse is made of white muslin & features hand-gathered sleeves & sweet a collar finished with an off white glass pearl. Red's apron dress is made from a tan, twig & berry 100& cotton print. Both the dress & blouse feature tons of hand-stitching! All visible hems have been hand-stitched (dress, sleeves), as well as the back of the blouse.

Red looks beautiful with or without her cape!

Red's sweet little wolf cub has been made from nine separate pieces. His legs are attached with vintage buttons as is his tail. His face has been needle-sculpted by hand. He is highly detailed & features blue eyes. He can sit on his own.

Red's hair is wavy brown 100% mohair. I've lightly glued, then carefully needle-felted it to her head. It has been twisted to the side then fashioned into a low side pony tied with chocolate ribbon.

Red's hood can be secured in the back with a pin (so that it doesn't press too tightly against her pretty hair).
Little Red Riding Hood & Wolfie were made in my smoke free & pet free home. If you decide that she MUST come live with you, she will arrive signed, dated & numbered, with a certificate of authenticity. My dolls are intended for decorative & display purposes only. They are not toys & should not be handled by children.

I am a self-taught artist from the foothills of Appalachia. I've been creating for as long as I can remember & make art using several different mediums. I believe doll construction is an art form, not just a craft. I enjoy old ways of doll construction & try to employ those methods when it is possible & sensible to do so. I love the idea of creating dolls, art, etc. from what you have. I love the idea of taking something no longer useful & making it beautiful & important. I like to incorporate vintage items when I can. I pay careful attention to the quality of my stitches when hand-stitching. Being a quilt collector, I know the importance of quality stitching. My dolls are my original designs. I do not use patterns. I often sketch & construct as I go, therefore my dolls cannot be duplicated, even by me. I retain full rights to my work. Please do not purchase my dolls with the intent to redistribute. PLEASE SEE MY "ABOUT ME" PAGE FOR MORE INFO ABOUT MY DOLLS, ME & FOR LINKS TO MY ONLINE DOLL GALLERY.
