A Flower For Momma

The little elf child is in tears, his knit stockings all in tatters and he's covered in prickly burrs. He's crawled through the dense thicket to pick spring's first flower - a beautiful yellow daffodil - for his Mother.

Media: Head, hands and legs of Super Sculpey, on a wire armature with a cloth body. Blonde curls of mohair. His tears are drips of 5-minute epoxy. He wears brown tights and blue leather shoes. He has on a dark blue tunic edged with colourful trim, and a bright blue collar with hood.

Props: He's covered in real burrs, and holds a fabric daffodil.

Height: approx 28cm (11")
