Guardian Dolls
(Marionettes)
These dolls are wonderful to hang over a crib or bed to ensure quiet peaceful slumber and a "protector" of the child or over a nature table or other sacred space to lend an angelic or fairy-esque presence to the space. They also work well as marionettes for story telling.
Our Marionettes are made using the 100% cotton interlock that we use on all of our dolls, stuffed with 100% cleaned, carded wool and sculpted using traditional Waldorf tying techniques. The hair is soft mohair or bouclez (for the "curly" look). The features are hand embroidered. The garments are a base layer of plain cotton fabric in solid colors with overlay of willowy sheer and silk-like fabrics. Since we use remnants for the overlays, these fabrics do not specify what kind of fabrics they are but we always choose fabrics that drape nicely and add that mystical, magical feel to the doll. We cannot verify natural fiber content on the overlay fabrics if they are remnants. However, we will specify when we know for sure whether it is natural fiber- the former only pertains to the overlay fabrics!
