Bluebird Stack

Artist's notes on style, materials and inspiration:

A tall wood girl balancing a stack of bluebirds on her head. Her dress pattern was inspired by the pattern designs found on tsutsugaki textiles.

This large wood girl is approximately 40cm in height.

My pieces are painted in a naïve and simple style, with visible brush strokes and differing paint consistencies. It is important to note that these dolls are made from real wood which will have naturally occurring markings and grain, and sometimes there will be small amount of bleeding along the grain, or knots, which is to be expected when using untreated wood - please make sure you consult the pictures carefully before purchasing. She has been finished in a top coat of matt acrylic.

PLEASE NOTE: Wood girls should be kept away from water which can damage the wood and painted surface, and also away from direct heat/ sunlight which also can affect the surface colour and the timber itself.
