La Mariposa(The shops Butterfly) Needle Felt Doll

Monarch butterflies have significant meaning in the Mexican culture. During the Day of the Dead holiday, the Mexican people see the arrival of monarchs as a spiritual symbol. Many believe the butterflies represent the souls of their ancestors returning to visit and bring comfort to loved ones.
I designed my butterfly doll with those myths in mind shops. Orange butterflies adorn her skirt beautifully. She holds a mariposa in her hand feeling the spirit of a loved one. Styrofoam is covered in wool to make the skirt and the bottom of the doll is covered using a piece of black felt sheet blanket stitched for an added touch.
Doll is 11.5in tall, 4in wide and weighs 2.8oz.
