Marie Mouse is finally finished. Her shoes took a long time- small, delicate and fiddly. The soles are leather and the top is made out of wool felt. Her fan has been made from cotton lace and accented with gold glitter glue. Both have small pearls added. The fan and the shoes are removable.

The shoes are made from wool felt uppers and leather soles.

 

The fan is cotton lace that has been gathered and decorated with gold glitter glue.

Her back showing the long curly hair and bow with pheasant feathers. You can just make out the pleats at the back of the dress.

 

Marie Mouse. The front of the dress.

 

She stands a whole 8 inches tall and is fully jointed. Her face has been needle felted and she has fishing gut whiskers. The glass eyes are accentuated with leather lids and eye lashes. The bodice piece is an earring from Charming Charlie's. I used it to decide on the color of her dress and ribbon. Her feet and hands were sculpted from Sculpey ( no molds used)  and the wire inside the Sculpey part has a wire that runs up to the joint. The ends are also glues in for good measure. She has copic coloring to the ears and cheeks. I think she may be missing a "patch" like they would have historically had on their cheek : )
