"Celeste" Spun Cotton Doll with Bat Cape and Stuffie, Celestial Void

This is Celeste. She is a sweet little spun cotton celestial void. She's wearing her bat cape and clutching her favorite crescent moon stuffie and is ready to be adopted. She is currently a doll (not freestanding) but could be turned into an ornament (no charge) upon request. She's almost 5 inches tall.

The lost art of Spun Cotton is an old world method of creating ornaments and figures. It began as a homemade craft in 19th century Germany, when local artisans would mold or wrap cotton batting into shapes (often fruits, vegetables, and holiday figures) and adorn them with sparkly mica chips or glass glitter. These beautifully simple old world techniques are still available to us today, but rarely used.

All of my spun cotton ornaments are made simply and traditionally with wire, cotton, corn starch, water, paint, and authentic embellishments such as mica flakes and German glass glitter.
