Vineyard Faery sits 4 1/2" tall to the top of her head (5" to her
floral headband) and if she could stand she would be around 9 1/2" tall.
She is a full-body polymer clay sculpt with great care and detail applied to her cute little fairy face.
She has adorable dimples and a big smile! The natural color of the clay is left unpainted to show a life-like skin and only her eyes, eyebrows, fingernails and toenails are painted and are very detailed (I think
the pics should show them well). Vineyard Faery also has been "blushed" in just the right places.
Her wings are poseable, delicate-looking and thin, yet are strong and long-lasting. They are created from a translucent paper (no real butterflys were hurt in the creation of these wings!), and a flexible medium is applied to the paper to strengthen and protect the wing and it's colors. They are tear-resistant and have fine wire insets that make them easy to position. Her hair/wig
is hand-made, hand-dyed mohair. Her
"clothing" is delicate, torn chiffon and vintage velvet leaves and flower trims. She holds a velvet "grape" that she just picked from the vine. Her hair is decorated with soft, metallic fibers and her headpiece is adorned with vintage flowers.
