HERMIONE, AN OLD GIRL

I am really having fun, learning how to age fabric realistically. There is such a fine line between aging and overdoing it - it's a delicate balance. I am very pleased to introduce "Hermione, an old girl".

Hermione is 5 1/4 inches tall and made from beige, over dyed and semi-distressed German mohair. She is an old style, centre seam bear with a hump in her back and long arms. I have gently thinned and aged her mohair and she has a few tiny bald spots. Hermione has amber German glass eyes, a sparse waxed nose and distressed ultra suede paw pads. She has been shaded on her face, ears and paws for a vintage look. Hermione is firmly stuffed with excelsior and weighted with stainless steel shot.

Hermione wears a lovey cream coloured pinafore , made from a vintage hanky. The pinafore is edged with a beautiful tatted edge. The dress has been gently aged and there are some wear spots. Hermione wears a tiny gold heart around her neck and a miniature preserved rose. Hermione is designed and created by me and she is a collectable, not meant for children. She will come with a signed hang-tag. If you are interested in Hermione or have any questions, please feel free to email

You work magic with those hankies making them into pinafores!
