Portrait of Laura Lucy F.
-By Brenda Stearns
About the portrait, from the Artist:
I had so much fun creating a custom doll to resemble my I ART YOU partner. Laura is a lovely individual. She is a child at play who is constantly seeking for beauty in the most random places. Her sense of beauty reaches far beyond what most can see. She has all sorts of amazing gifts and talents and I absolutely adore that she shares them with the world around her. She has motivated me to find inspiration from the simplest things in life. Laura recently opened an etsy shop with some wonderful embroidered pieces!
I normally don't create dolls with eyebrows, but the minute I saw a photo of Laura I knew her doll must have eyebrows. Laura's facial features define perfectly who she is as a unique individual. I found so much inspiration from her Instagram account and there were many many things I wanted to incorporate into this project.
The doll is approximately 17" tall, she has buttoned arms for better range of motion, her facial features are embroidered by hand, her hair was hand stitched, and all clothing items and accessories can be removed.
Although a handmade item, the doll is made to be loved and play with, but she wouldn't mind looking gorgeous sitting on a shelf as well!!
I have enjoyed getting to know Laura as a fellow artist/maker and I am looking forward to continuing our friendship as we encourage and inspire each other to create!
