Vintage Inspired Spun Cotton Elephant Ornament/Figure

Description

Every whimsical creation crafted by Vintage by Crystal is handmade in upstate New York using the lost art of spun cotton, a century old craft inspired by techniques used by cottage artisans in Victorian era Germany. Each piece is made using cotton, cotton batting, a wire framed armature, and various types of paints and washes. Many of the pieces in this collection are outfitted in crepe paper clothing, and accessorized with a variety of new, vintage, and found materials, including Dresden scraps, ribbons, trim, antique Czech glass beads, vintage paper, glitter, and other unconventional and chic materials. All people characters have paper scrap faces that originate from images of Victorian postcards. All animal figures/ornaments have hand painted details and most are bendable. Not one piece is exactly alike. These spun cotton treasures will add charm and delight to your home and make amazingly unique gifts for all occasions. Whether you add them for beautiful holiday decor, or collect them as fun-sized companions, you'll have a distinctive handcrafted item made to order for you by a talented husband-and-wife team. This item is part of the Martha Stewart American Made Collection.
