Sapsorrow

"Then suddenly, magically, from every quarter, creatures appeared, things that scurried, things that flew, hurrying, flying toward the Straggletag, engulfing her in a cloud of whirring, beating activity. While all looked on, bewildered, an extraordinary transformation took place. For before their eyes, the hapless, pathetic creature became a beautiful woman, standing radiant in a dress shimmering with gold, as if the sun had burst into the Great hall."

*Inspired by "Sapsorrow", from Jim Henson's Storyteller series.

One of a kind art figure by Martha Boers

Her head, arms, and feet are sculpted of Super Sculpey, on a wire armature, with a cloth body. 
Painted blue eyes, brown mohair curls. 
Dress of fine yellow fabrics, gold lamé and laces. Embroidered with beads and sequins.
Many small purchased birds, with fur and feathers in their beaks, are busy on her right arm and lower right side of her dress, removing her fur and feather disguise to reveal the golden dress underneath.

Entirely hand-made by Martha Boers, in January 1991
