Art Doll - Paprika
Art Doll by Laura Daub - Paprika – approx. 43 cm / 17″ height
Linen Doll with linen Dress, with hand-crocheted faux fur scarf and vintage costume jewelry brooch - all not removable. Not intended for young children because of the small parts. Please see my FAQ below.
My Soft Sculpture Art Dolls can be posed, displayed and handed down for many years to come. My One of a Kind (OOAK) Heirloom Art Dolls are not toys, but art pieces to be displayed like other works of Art, but they do love gentle hugs from time to time, are avid listeners and are very good companions. Having been professionally trained in Fashion Design using Haute Couture methods and years of experience in Art and Design since, my handmade dolls are sewn with great care and skill.
Clothes and accessories are typically sewn onto the body and hair is permanently styled. The doll’s arms have been hand-sewn on with embroidery thread. All my dolls are made with muslin, linen or cotton with poly stuffing, natural wool for hair, modern, found, recycled and vintage fabrics and embellished with hand embroidery, vintage jewelry, hand-molded clay accessories and other findings. Raw edges and fraying fabrics, thread knots and visible stitching were all part of the plan and were left with artistic intent. Boots and bodice are sometimes painted - with water-based paints and may fade if placed in the sun. Gentle cleaning/dusting is recommended only when needed and you are welcome to repair her/him/them if ever needed.
Each Art Doll’s height is listed and can stand with the assistance of a doll stand or can be hung on the wall by the threaded loop I have included on the back.

My Art Dolls are not recommended for children because of possible hazards from ie. beaded necklaces and/or painted boots and although the acrylic paint has been treated with fabric medium, it may run if the doll gets wet and should also never go in children's mouths. Gentle cleaning/dusting is recommended and you are welcome to repair her/him if ever needed.
