Gabriella was created by Kathy Carey in the cloth and clay style. Her head and hands are hand-sculpted from Paper-clay. She is hand-painted and antiqued. She is ready for spring with a vintage earring and milliner's forget-me-nots ornamenting her mohair-styled hair.
Gabriella's frock is mostly hand-sewn from vintage fabrics and garments. She is wearing a slip fashioned from an old dresser scarf. Her bustled skirt is from a vintage woman's petticoat of white cotton lawn, embroidered in white work, with a broderie anglaise detail. Gabriella's blouse was formed from a piece of a vintage collar with it's original buttons.
Gabriella's wings are made from an antique key-plate. She cradles a lovely little bark bluebird in her hands. A charm which beckons us to "believe" dangles from her hand with a fob made from a vintage button.
"Life is sweet, tender, and complete, when you find the bluebird of happiness."
lyrics by Edward Heyman and Harry Parr Davies
