The "Borrower"

This doll was inspired by the Character of Arrietty from "The Borrowers" book Series by Mary Norton. These charming books were my childhood favorites. The Borrowers were a tiny race of creatures who lived beneath the floors or inside the walls of Human Dwellings in late Victorian England, and survived by "borrowing" from their human hosts. Their food, clothing, furnishing were fashioned from whatever could be pillaged from the leavings of humankind-- a dropped glove or handkerchief for clothing; a pill box for a couch.

This moment represents the first time Arrietty was allowed out of doors ever--at age 12!!

Arrietty her is 6 inches tall and thus--life size! I made her clothing from handkerchiefs, and her shoes from a kid glove--just like the "real" Borrowers whould have done. Shoe " buttons" are made from the heads of pins. ( and the shoes actually do fit on her feet and could concievably come on and off)
Price $1800.00

This isn't the best photo of the doll ( it's not bad of the cat!)  but it does give an idea of the scale.  Mr Tumnus is just an average size cat; He isn't very large, though he looks huge here!
