Mademoiselle Edith

Welcome to my first OOAK offerings of 2008! I've been very busy with reroot commissions, in addition to everything else that happened, but it's good to be back in the swing of things. I'm thrilled with how these girls turned out...definitely some of my favorites.

She has received a full reroot with KatSilk saran hair in a blend called 'Burnt Orange'. She has also received a full repaint, using artist-quality acrylics which have been sealed for protection. Her orange tulle veil is also removable, should you wish to display her without it. The suit is constructed from 100% silk Thai brocade, fully lined with an irridescent silk shantung and was fully handsewn with silk thread. Fully removable - fastenings are hook & silk thread eyes. Silk & organza ribbon detailing.

Her purse is made from Japanese delica beads woven off-loom...the purse alone took several hours to make. The chain is 14k gold. Her stunning necklace is made from 14k gold chain, 14k gold-filled headpins, Sterling Silver jump rings & genuine Swarovski crystals. There are approximately 85 crystals in a multitude of colors - the list of shades is as follows: Silk, Light Colorado Topaz, Light Topaz, Sun, Red Topaz, Fire Opal, Indian Red, Aurum, Smoked Topaz, Smoky Quartz, Dorado, Tabac, Olivine AB, Turquoise, Turquoise AB2X. The materials alone cost over $30! To finish her look, she wears Golden, glittery open-toe mules by Dressmaker Details.
