It is surprising it took me this long to finally sculpt a Cinderella piece. A fairy tale that is always a favorite. When I set out to create her I knew I wanted a poseable doll. Her legs and arms poseable (her head is not) .



She is approximately 5". Her costume is done completely by hand and includes my hand dyed silk gauze with other fabulous miniature trims to complete that Cinderella look!



Her tiara was the final touches on this sweet little sculpture. It is contained of crystals and glass beads over silver wire.



Once she was finished, I felt she needed, of course ... a pumpkin! I decided to sculpt the pumpkin in paper air dry clay. This took quite some time due to the many stages of sculpting and drying, sanding, and finally painting. The pumpkin is designed so that Cinderella can be seated on the pumpkin. The stem is the back rest for her.
