‘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.
