Penelope Pumpernickel, the social butterfly of her
community, hosts her early evening gathering of friends every day at 4pm. She
is detail oriented, creating a beautiful space for all of her friends who stop
by. She lays out sweet little crystal glasses filled with watermelon wine, tiny
squares of pumpernickel bread, and trays of sliced fruit. Bouquets of flowers
line the walkway to her porch, manned by the Dragonfly sisters who act as her
greeters when her quests arrive. They
lovingly pass out hugs and kisses to the Damselflies, Luna Moths, Dragonflies,
and entire Butterfly Kingdom who arrive promptly between 4 and 4:15.
Penelope knows ALL of the hot gossip in town, which is
usually focused on who is dating who and the latest bling that all of the
butterfly ladies are sporting. She does tend to get a bit tipsy as the evening
passes, so if you see a sparkly butterfly who seems to be floating and
fluttering through the air in a sporadic fashion, it’s most probably Penelope.
Penelope is a Handmade Cloth and Clay Art Doll Ornament, a
part of my Wisdom Keeper Art Doll Collection. She is hand stitched from a rich
green and fuchsia colored fabric and filled with a polyfil stuffing. Her face
is created from doll making clay and painted in an antiqued style with earthy
colors, then sealed with a satin finish. Her hair is made from long strands of
metallic thread and fiber ribbon and hangs down long under her head wrap that
matches her body fabric. A small gold colored butterfly charm is attached on
the front of her head wrap. An ivy green curly ribbon becomes her shoulder wrap
and is tied off on the side. Petite gold seed beads adorn the bottom of her
body. A pair of hot pink and gold butterfly wings is attached to her back,
highlighting the colors in her fabric.
She measures approximately 6 inches in height and 6 inches
in width. A fabric loop is sewn onto the back of her head wrap for display
hanging.
