#46 - "Green Leaf" Diva - $160.00 - (available 6/09/08)

100% Hand dyed/painted silk creation!!

She is much more GORGEOUS IN PERSON!

This stunning creation (both figure and leaf) is designed from 100% silk tussah, which I hand-painted using silk dyes. She is absolutely gorgeous!  Her leaf pattern was made from one of my house plants, and measures 12" long from tip to end of leaf, with an additional curly stem of 4".  It is approx. 5" wide at the widest point of the leaf.  The leaf was lightly stuffed with acrylic fiberfill, top-stitched, and has a center inner wire armature.

The "diva" measures 15" tall before being sculpted into her current position.  Her body/face are 100% silk, which I hand-painted various shades of green, using silk dyes.  Her lovely long hairdo is designed from two Italian yarns....one is a sparkly yarn, and the other a deep green eyelash yarn.  As accents she has two beaded necklaces designed from seed beads and Swarovski crystals, with a tiny bell in the center of one. She also has several strands of seed beads and crystals as a hair accent. (They don't show up very good in the photos)
