About Avgusta:
(2012)
Avgusta or Ava is one of my favourite girl names. This doll has a very kind expression and I think she has a look of either a 70's movie star, like someone from the original Charlie's Angels,
or like a missionary travelling to remote places à la Katharine Hepburn in 'The African Queen'.
Materials used:
Brass, Cernit polymer clay, glass eyes, mohair.
Avgusta is dressed in a plum-coloured Silk Jersey trouser suit with a Velvet ribbon on the bodice.
The shell of her dressing gown is made of Silk jersey and the lining is 100% Silk Italian chiffon.
Measurements*:
Total height: 38cm (including 4cm hair volume).
Seated height: 27cm (including 4cm hair volume).
Weight: 576grams (including clothing).
*All measurements are approximate.
