Bookfigures

My bookfigures are a different story.. They are made especially for you, with a personal message, for a special occasion s.a. a birth, a communion or a wedding. If desired, with the use of special cherished objects, s.a. an antique handkerchief or a piece of cloth or the book itself, and therefore eternizing these treasures in a very special and original way..

Lady Shoe-Shine

Shoe I got the idea of making a doll in a shoe when I first saw an article announcing a wonderful exhibition about the Russian Tsar family Romanov in the museum Hermitage in Amsterdam. One of the pictures showed a number of silk, embroided shoes, worn by the Russian princesses. That's what I wanted to work with and Lady Shoe-Shine was born..

Lady Shoe-Shine sits in a very elegant manner in her silk shoe, holding an umbrella made out of ribbons and pearls. I made her dress by hand out of silk and lace, covered with little pearls and ribbons. I gave her a rather simple hair-do, which makes her look even more innocent and which places the attention of the viewer on the beautiful umbrella..

Clothes, shoe and hair have all been hardened with Paverpol. I painted the lady with Acrylics, I gave her handpainted eyes and varnished her several times.

Lady Shoe-Shine is 29 cm high and 24 cm long.

Queen of my castle

In a stately manner, the Queen is sitting on her really high throne. She looks very focussed on what the day will have in store for her today.. She is majestically dressed in a gorgious gown made of shiny silk and lace. She has an ingenious hair-do with ribbons, pearls and braids. I made her throne out of Premier clay, clothed with lace, then hardened and painted with Acrylics. Finally, I decorated it with little mirrors.
