OOAK Polymer Clay Art Doll 2 Figure Vignette, "Castaway" by Jen Sutherland

Description

This stunning vignette, "Castaway," was sculpted in 2011 by the wonderful California artist, Jennifer Sutherland. The vignette features 2 individual art dolls, a mermaid and a shipwrecked sailor.  Both dolls are sculpted from a mix of polymer clays over a wire armature, then painted and blushed to create varying skin tones.  Both dolls appear to be equivalent to 9-10" sculpts.
The mermaid's beautiful facial features are all hand painted, and she has long  inset lashes.  She has strawberry blonde locks made of mohair and a blue sparkly tail.  Her fantasy film fins are iridescent colors of blue, pink, purple and gold.
The handsome sailor sports dark brown mohair dreadlocks embellished with metal findings, a hoop earring, and a necklace meant to imitate coral. He wears a green loincloth and armband, and has 2 stunning handpainted tattoos on his right arm and shoulder.
The base for the dolls is made of wood covered with a mix of tiny shells and sand, and a pool of bright blue "water."  The rocky outcrop appears to be a stone or cement-like substance and is quite heavy.  The base measures 11 1/4 " high by 8 1/2 long, by 4" tall, and the dolls on the base stand
approx. 9 " tall.
First photo is from the original listing; all others taken today.  If you would like to see more photos, please contact me.
Unfortunately I cannot locate the certificate for this piece, but both dolls are signed and dated by the artist.
Listed shipping is for continental US only.  All others will receive invoice based on location.  The base is heavy and will probably be shipped separately from the dolls.  The dolls will be double-boxed for safety and insured.
If interested, I can offer layaway.
I do not accept returns except in the rare instance a piece is damaged in shipping.
Thanks for your interest.
