Delphine Gothic art doll Sculpture

Ses yeux profonds sont faits de vide et de ténèbres, Et son crâne, de fleurs artistement coiffé, Oscille mollement sur ses frêles vertèbres. Ô charme d'un néant follement attifé. * Delphine is an exquisite handmade gothic art doll. She is one-of-a-kind doll made from scratch, as all my dolls. She is a bit different than my previous dolls: her body is poseable: she can sit or stand. For standing she will need a doll stand. Height: 46 cm / 18 inches Weight: 250 g Delphine is entirely handmade from scratch: sculpted in modeling dough (La Doll) and her arms and legs are articulated. The hands are sculpted in fimo. Her whole body is painted and varnished. Her face and some parts of her body are decorated with small colored rhinestones. Her long hair is made of synthetic fiber. She wears a colorful dress with a multi-layered skirt and a bodice made in papier-mâché which is also painted and decorated and fitted at the back with a ribbon. She also wears a large headdress of black and colored flowers decorated with beads which is ending in a long black lace veil. Her attire is not meant to be removed. *Her eyes are darkening voids which open wide; her skull, with flowers dexterously crowned, sways on her slender spine from side to side. o spell of nothingness by folly gowned! ( From "Danse Macabre", a poem by Charles Baudelaire )
