Tillie is a Pug with a sweet face,
soft brown eyes, and a gentle expression.
|
 |
Tillie would
like to be a singer
someday. She knows it will take a great deal of practice.
|

|
Her mama made her a special little
songbook with the words to all of her favorites.
|
 |
When Tillie begins to
sing, all of
her friends leave the room.
|
 |
Tillie finds
them very considerate
to realize that she needs to concentrate on cultivating her voice.
|
 |
Tillie wears
a pretty green dress
with a lilac sash tied in a big bow at the back. Pale lilac flowers
decorate
the front and encircle the skirt. The ivory ruffles at her neckline and
cuffs
match the ivory petticoats that show beneath her dress.
|
 |
Tillie is an
original
one-of-a-kind work of art, and she is meant for display only. No molds
are ever
used in my work. She and her book are hand sculpted from paperclay, and
entirely hand painted using acrylic paints.
|
 |
Tillie is
signed and dated, and
sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. She rests
firmly on
a turned wooden base that is stained and sealed in golden oak.
|
 |
Tillie
stands 5 ¾ inches tall.
|
 |
Many
hours go into the making of each of my dolls. I
strongly believe in fine craftsmanship and artistry, and
I pay great
attention to small details. Each
doll is
a unique work of art, and I am able to produce them in only a very
limited
number. I
do my
best to create
little dolls with big personalities because that is what I love to do.
