Hooray! I am 99% done assembling the South American Premiere Porcelain doll Fernando, the llama.
This porcelain doll is yet another gift I received from a beloved neighbor a couple of years ago. She bought the mold of the Llama’s head and legs and fired it up herself. That lady was incredibly good with her hand.
Unfortunately, the improper storage of the fur pieces for over twenty years resulted in damage. I just need to purchase a few pieces to cover the legs area and it will be complete at last.
It is one of the many unfinished porcelain dolls I received from a neighbor who moved away a couple of years ago. I connected the face and legs unto the soft body, glued and sew in the wool into place and attached the eyelashes (Yes, I know, those eyelashes need to be trimmed).
Fernando has porcelain face and legs with a soft body and a wool blanket. He is from the Premiere Artist Collection from Wendy Crawford and Barbara Miller, of California. It measures 17”H x 11”L x 6”W.
I have a couple more projects lined up, to keep ourselves busy as we are expecting heavy rain and possible snow all of next week.
I hope you are all healthy and safe.
