Malika and the sweet Chestnut
Malika is modeled on a very sturdy skeleton of iron wire, sculpted with great attention to detail entirely by hand, in quality polymer clay without the use of molds. Hand-painted with high-quality color. The eyes are of light green color , previously cooked and decorated, I then inserted during the processing of facial features. The wings are two leaves of tissue. Are posable and removable. The hairs are of real fur. For the dress, made entirely by hand, I used: cotton fabric, ribbons, leaves of fabric. The hat is a leaf of fabric, decorated with two small fabric flowers. The chestnut is a decoration to which I added the eyes, for creating facial expression. Measures: Malika is just under 3 ½ inches sitting – 5 ½ inches with the hat.
