Description
This was a figure I did after a character in a fairy tale called Misfortune from Italian Folk Tales by Italo Calvino. It's a sort of an Italian Cinderella story. She's holding a loaf a bread which is significant to the story. This was a commission of sorts for another artist who had a wonderful painting of Alice in Wonderland I wanted and he liked my work so much he asked me if I could do for him this character from Misfortune in trade.Those are tiny scissors in her hair which were also significant to the tale.

She was done after a character from a fairy tale called Misfortune. The scissors were an important element to the fairy tale as was her gown and her box with the bit of lace and the loaf of bread.

I didn't make the scissors. They are metal and a miniature I purchased.

I would if I could but I honestly don't remember. I know they came from a miniature dollhouse supply company I found online. If I can find it again I will let you know.

Congratulation on DD! Gorgeous, full of live character! The shout is very beautiful too, reminds me of old European portraits

Thank you so much! You know, when I finished her I had that same thought too.. It must be because I love old European portraits too and that creeps into my work sometimes as things we love do...

She is so gorgeous. I think i might have heard the story in passing a few years ago, it just sounds really familiar. She has such a real look to her, but also a sweet doll look. She has the sweetest and heartbreaking expression too. Her dress is gorgeous and her pose is perfect. She is just all around beautiful <3.
