Meet Rabbity Friend. By Cathy Cullis. Beautiful workmanship, gorgeous fabrics, and what a personality! Just recently moved from London to Malmö. Will miss Octavia.
Rabbity friend is a folk art textile doll... very much inspired by
old primitive dolls of the past.
Rabbity has a linen body with a pinched nose and stitched
features. Her ears
are wool felt. Her arms are simple stitched
to her shoulders and can be
moved, arranged in different
poses. Her legs are button jointed,
allowing Rabbity to sit or
stand. She can sit quite nicely without being propped.
Her skirt is made using hand dyed cotton muslin. Her bodice
is made
using a vintage silk handkerchief. She has mustard
yellow patterned
cotton legs. Hand stitch detailing on this doll
lends a true hand-made
feel.
This doll measures 26cm tall approx. including ears.
