The Booker Fairy Doll was inspired by my love of the little folk who live in our countryside and by the fairy dell I am creating in my garden for my granddaughter. I gathered together wire , vintage fabric, beads, feathers and lots of delightful things to create this wonderful doll. The Book Keeper stands almost two feet tall , with a velvet top hat hiding a scroll book and pink boots with beads and bows. She was truly a delight to make and design , with her patch work skirt, her recycled denim coat and glitter wings. She has lots of books in her big coat pockets and also in her shoulder bag. A book even hangs from her waist and keystone secret doors hang from her belt. Her beautiful pink glitter wings are large enough to carry her to far off places and gather more stories and keys. I made her wings from thin wire , cotton fabric , beads and of course glitter , to make her shine. If you look closely at her clothing , you will find lots of recycled jewellery and gems adorning her. The jewellery she wears relates to the woodland , cats, deer, fairies and so much more. Flowing ribbons hang from her waist and lace decorates her cuffs.
I think my fairy Book Keeper needs a friend, so time to thread the needle again and begin the next part of the story..
