SOLD - 'Abika Ladibird' – hybrid insect fashion art doll by Dina

‘Abika Ladibird’ - One-of-a-kind hand sculpted art-doll by Australian artist Dina Goebel.

‘Abika Ladibird’ is a childhood favorite of mine … the colorful ladybird beetle. Today it reminds me of the 1960s swinging ponchos, mini dresses and that vivid wonderful ladybird orange.

Abika’s cape is hand-dyed hemp/silk fabric trimmed with mink fur, silk ribbon and glass beads. Her wings are digitally printed and beaded organza which can be opened into different positions; both the cape and wings are removable leaving this stunning model-esque insect in a glistening bronze mini dress. Made with air-dry & apoxie clay, alpaca hair and glass eyes.

36cm high, 12 cm x 8 cm wide, free standing sculpture

• This is not a child’s toy, rather it is a unique sculpture to be carefully positioned away from direct sunlight and ideally viewed from several angles.
• Each piece is made with wire armature, artist quality acrylic paints and sealed in strong protection varnish.
• I recommend storing in display cabinets away from direct sunlight to have a long lasting art work for your home.
  
• I package my dolls and sculptures extremely well for global travel and have provided a capped price postage, insurance and express is available at additional cost.
