Waltzing Matilda
This is Waltzing Matilda, Mattie for Short, if you'd like to learn more of Mattie's story go Here
Mattie was born in the 1930 or 40's. She is a composite doll with wonderfully hand-painted face. Her pink satin and net dress is original and was refitted for her. The apron was a hand-tatted doily. It is embellished with a variety of satin roses, peonies, and dianthus, with small lace daisies. Iridescent 'dewdop' beads shimmer at the waist and hem.
Her 'wings' were created from a 1940's doily. The 'halo' utilized her original net scarf and was embellished by more 'dewdrops' and a satin peony. Center front on her apron Mattie holds a pin, which is able to be removed and worn. I created it by combining a vintage gold-tone metal flower stem and a satin blue dianthus. If you'd like Mattie makes a very useful and pretty pin holder, you can attach floral pins to her apron, be they vintage from your collection or new, she makes a great display piece.
Mattie stands atop a musical box that plays her favorite tune
'Waltz of the Flowers'. As she spins to the tune her dewdrops shimmer...and the more floral pins you add....the more flowers twirl with her. Mattie stands 10" high and her skirts billow out 8". A copy of Mattie's story comes with her when shipped.
