Goldilocks and the Three Bears
The latest one of a kind masterpiece by Audrey Swarz
The artist's discription:
The three bears sculpts are made from paper clay and clothed with all
tones and shades of the forest. Papa bear wears a hound's-tooth check
vest, a silk shirt with antique buttons and his pants are herringbone in
design. Mama bear is in her Sunday finest and wears a antique lace skirt
and shawl. Her skirt is adorned with flowers and match the flowers that
are in her hand made wool purse. She picked those when they were walking
in the woods. Baby bear, of course, wears an antique lace baby bonnet and
his diaper is in lace and matching greens of papa bear's clothing. Goldie
sits in an antique bed. This was a find of finds. The slates under the
mattress are wood and the details of this bed are incredible. All wood
which I believe to be oak. Goldilocks is dressed in her Sunday best
also. The petticoat and bloomers that she is wearing are made from
antique fine embroidered white cotton and lace. Her empire waist dress is
created from plum silk velvet and trimmed with antique lace around her
neck and sleeves. Her shoes are black wool with lavender ribbons. The
hat she is wearing was artist made in black velvet, lavender and green
ribbon and lace to complete her outfit. Her hair is angora mohair and her
eyes are glass in a beautiful green.
I made the quilt and sheets along with the
pillows and mattress that are a part of this elaborate vignette. and
lined the quilt with green silk velvet fabric. So beautiful and so soft.
No wonder Goldilocks ended up in baby bear's bed!!!!"
