LEFT BEHIND | Dolls recovered from forgotten fairytales
Some things are lost. Others are deliberately hidden.
RECOVERED OBJECT NO. 001
Walter is a one-of-a-kind, handmade textile art doll from my Left Behind collection, a series of peculiar creatures that might once have belonged to children from fairytales you have never heard.
Made from fabric, individually hand-painted and dressed in tattered scraps of cloth, Walter is a rather watchful fox with a long, narrow face, painted bones, weighted hands and feet and a small key upon his chest. His body bears curious markings and evidence of repairs, some of which may not have been entirely conventional.
Each doll has its own imagined history, recorded on an accompanying archive card.
EXTRACT FROM THE ARCHIVE
NAME: Walter
CREATURE: Fox
BELONGED TO: Clara Pike
MISSING SINCE: 1902
RECOVERED: 1927
NOTES: Found beneath the floorboards of the old bakery. Clara maintained she had never taken him there.
ALTERATIONS: Possible enchantment on right arm and left leg.
THE OBJECT
Walter is entirely handmade and individually painted, with carefully chosen fabrics, distressed details and hand-finished embellishments.
He arrives in his own presentation box, nestled in black tissue paper, accompanied by a numbered identification tag and handwritten archive card detailing his mysterious past.
An original, one-of-a-kind piece of textile art. No two dolls in the collection are alike.
Box dimensions: 30cm x 8cm x 8cm
Please note: This is a collectible artwork intended for adult display only, not a toy. It contains small and delicate components and is unsuitable for children.
A note on photography: All artworks are original, physical pieces, designed, created and hand-painted by me. Some product photographs have been digitally enhanced using AI to adjust lighting, atmosphere and backgrounds. The artworks themselves are entirely handmade and have not been AI-generated.
