The dolly flower is a mid-sized soft flower - made to lie around on a bed, or hang on a door handle, or flop over the back of a chair. It is made from unique fabrics and stuffed with a combination of poly fill and its own textile scraps and threads, making it a zero waste piece. A central hand-sewn seam is visible on the back of the flower (not that it matters which way you face it). There is a tiny discreet loop behind its top petal, through which a piece of hanging ribbon or twine can be threaded (or removed if its not being used).
Approx. 50cm tall, 40cm wide with petals outstretched.
This particular dolly is a one-off, though I have made three similar blue check dollies in the past. The fabrics are beautiful soft cottons, woven in India, typically for lungi garments. There is also a gorgeous Japanese cotton remnant, which is more stiff and textured.
To clean, a cool/lukewarm spot wash is best. A full immersion wash is really to be avoided. If necessary, do it quickly in strictly COLD water. Some colour loss/bleed may well result.
