| Doll Artist: Kathie Briggs Profile / Articles / Webpage |
Medium: All Cloth. |
| Description: Firebird
is 19" tall, all cloth and my original design. She is on a partial armature and it was a real challenge to get her balanced. My kind and talented husband gave me a lot of assistance with angle which she is attached to the stand. Her costume is hand sewn from wired chiffon ribbons, modestly lined here & there with sequined fabric. |
| Inspirations: I wanted to capture the movement in Erte's illustration of the same name. |

| The Critics:Lovely colouring - the red and gold
combination is so rich! Hard to believe that the fabric is just ribbon… I like the way the drape crosses the back and becomes the sleeve – a nifty bit of ribbon manipulation! The long-sleeved mitten is also a nice touch, along with the little gold sandals. You’ve certainly caught her in mid-movement – however much your DH contributed, she’s an engaging little piece!
