Aurelia

This stately beauty has been called Aurelia. She has been poured, dressed, painted and costumed by me. The original sculpture is by the doll artist, Cindy Gates.  

She has been poured in Flumo, which is a wonderful doll material and lends a beautiful translucent and satiny effect to the doll.

Aurelia has green eyes framed with thick black eyelashes and accentuated by green gold eye shadow.  Her lips are a soft lavender.  

She has been costumed using the finest silks.  Her underskirt of ivory has been heavily hand embroidered by me in silk thread using a scroll and flower pattern. The colours of her embroidery have been left simple yet classic with the earthy tones of brown, peach and green serving to match her gown.  

Her overskirt and bodice are made from sea green silk and her overskirt is draped in soft pleats both in front and in her elaborate train.  Her entire dress has been trimmed using the finest silk and cotton trim in complimentary shades to match her ensemble. Aurelia wears sea-green leather shoes trimmed with gold buckles and tiny beads.

Her hair of rich brown has been streaked with blond to give it a more dramatic effect.  This matches the personality of the doll.  It's hard to describe her hairstyle, but it involves her hair being taken up in different sections and curled.  I then added more curls and let some tendrils escape to frame her face.  Two long ringlet curls fall down her back.  The entire hairstyling procedure was filled with trial and error, and with each error, new ideas emerged.  It was as though Aurelia actually lead me to see how she wanted her hair fixed.

  

Aurelia has turquoise gold and silver bead jewelry.  She wears an elaborate necklace, bracelets, rings and earrings. 

She stands at about 5 3/4 inches and  is a perfectly scaled dollhouse miniature.  This versatile beauty could easily find home in a Victorian dollhouse whilst at the same time not seem out of place in a Medieval setting.
