Jillian Frost the Winter Elf Art Doll

I had taken a break for a few weeks from creating Art Dolls so that I could paint, but delved back in for the holidays. Of course my creations don't focus on Santa Claus or Snowmen, but rather on olde stories, lore, and tall tales. Most of them revolve around the woodlands, my favorite part of nature.

Coming back to the studio first produced Jillian Frost. Jillian Frost is a Winter Elf, a gourd and clay art doll.

Jillian Frost a Winter Elf Art Doll by Jeanne Fry



Jillian Frost, a Winter Elf has arrived to town for the Holidays. Jillian is a mild mannered Elf, tender and caring, and watches over the woodland animals during the cold long days of Winter. She helps the wee ones find warm homes to shelter them and directs them as to where they can hunt for their meals. She knows what old Jack Frost is up to and when he will be bringing harsh frigid temperatures and frost, and will quickly alert the nearby animals to seek warm shelter.

Jillian Frost Gourd Art Doll

Every evening the woodland animals (squirrels, birds, chipmunks, and other wee ones) will gather around Jillian as she tells them stories. They love this time of day, as Jillian will spin a story and share with them a snack of gathered nuts fresh baked bread she has made.

Jillian Frost, a Winter Elf Art Doll is created by Jeanne Fry. This piece is designed from Gourd and Clay. Jillian is hand painted in layers of vintage whites, and then sealed with a satin finish. Her hair is natural fleece locks that have been hand dyed a vintage white color. She wears a cream colored quilted hat that is adorned with a white fluffy fleece border. She wears a scarf of the same white fluffy fleece. In her hands she is holding a peridot colored twig of leaves. At her base is snow covered moss. A beautiful gold and white bird sits atop her hat. Jillian is attached to a wooden base for display that is signed and dated on the bottom by me.
A Story card accompanies the doll that tells about her.

She stands 9 inches tall and has a diameter of 5 inches.

If you are interested in collecting Jillian you can find her on my Artfire Studio
