Sale $189 plus shipping according to zipe code
It is so much fun each time to decide what image to use as inspiration for our next group of dolls to be
introduced in the Anne Geddes Collectible Doll Line. This time we have chosen a classic. We just
loved the photo with the three real babies seated in decorated tin cans with their heads popping out
dressed in hats decoratively detailed with pansies. Anne created this image in her studio in NEW
ZEALAND in 1995, and has included it again in her latest book "A Labor of Love," her autobiography,
introduced this past fall to rave reviews. What a great look for spring!
Anne recounts that the inspiration behind these images from her first coffee table book, the
international bestseller "Down in the Garden," came from a tale that her Studio Manager Natalie, once
related to her. Anne says, "When Natalie was three years of age, whilst playing in her grandmother's
garden, she bent down to pick a pansy. Her grandmother, who was gardening at the time, hid behind a
bush and just as Natalie was about to pick the flower, Natalie heard what she thought was the pansy
say in a tiny squeaky voice, ‘Oh, please don't pick me!’ So you see, pansies perhaps really do have
faces."
The pansy papier-mâché containers, which are based on original illustrations of old jam labels, were
also motivated from Anne's recollection as a child, of using old discarded rusty tins for planting
seedlings.
We decided it would be fun to adapt this look and recreate them as baby dolls with different ethnicities.
Anne has named the Caucasian, Eliza, the African American, Grace, and the Asian, Chloe. Laura Tuzio-
Ross has once again, under Anne's direction, created three incredible new sculpts. Their expressions
are adorable and Laura is unsurpassed in her ability to capture different ethnic facial details. The
hands were also specially sculpted, so they could be posed on the edge of the containers, similar to
the original look.
Each silicone/vinyl baby is 19" with arms sculpted above the elbow and fully sculpted legs that attach
directly into their doe skin cloth body. They are filled with soft fiber and weighted with pellets to make
them huggable. They can be placed in their containers as shown or cuddled in your arms.
Details on Grace:
* Grace is dressed in a yellow romper with a petaled sleeve detailing and pretty embroidered pansies on
her bodice. Each baby in the pansy group has a different position of the pansies on its bodice. She
also wears a diaper.
* Adorable soft hat covered with over 52 individual pansies to duplicate the original look from the Anne
Geddes image.
* Dark brown curly baby wig and dark brown eyes.
* A papier-mâché container decorated with the original design applied to it in the same artistic manner
as the original tins. The container is lined in brown felt to protect the body as you place her in the
container.
* Anne Geddes Logo packaging with a hand-numbered certificate and hang tag. The decal is sewn into
the cloth body with the edition number on it.
* Hand-Numbered Limited Edition of 1000 pieces worldwide
