Papillon was one of those dolls that was supposed to have been made a long time ago. I had her in my head....sort of. I even managed to draw several sketches of her. But she was always in my peripheral vision and she would never come to where I could "see" her plainly. I had made her stand months ago.....even then I couldn't convince her to come out of hiding!
Suddenly one evening....when I should have been going to bed, I knew I was ready to begin work on her. She came together so quickly that even now it seems like a blur.
Papillon is 19.5" tall including her base. She's paper clay and fabric over an armature.

She's beautiful. Love the colors and the wings are great - the movement of the FME really works.
Hi Angela,
Oh' she is absolutely beautiful and I love her name. You go girl!
And this photo doesn't do her justice.. she is SO COOL!
Papillon is lovely - and worth the wait!
She wears her name well, Angela. Few can compare to the exquisite butterfly, and Papillon will flit throught the flowers with the best of them.
Love you -- Rita
She is quite smart. I love her face, wings, the base is beautiful too and seems such a part of her.
So aptly named and so lovely, just as we've come to expect from your work!! I've just discovered you blog and your site...I'll be a frequent visitor!
She is incredible! Very delicate and ready to take flight.
This is my first visit to your blog but it won't be my last.
Thank you for sharing Papillon with us!
She's absolutely lovely! I just discovered your blog today and will add you to mine so I make it a point to check back often!
I kept expecting to blink and she'd have flown away! BEAUTIFUL! Your dolls have such charm - not only in their beauty, but in the perception of movement! Love your work!
Angela, this is beautiful!!
I also loved your Fates and every other doll you have posted, but this one has something more... not sure what, but it is probably my favourite! :)
If you'll ever set up an online class, be sure to count me in!! :)
Always thrilled to stop by and see your newest creation! She's beautiful. I have always wanted a Papillion dog...with their perky little ears...:-)
You never miss one detail!
