Elisa comes with a felt-covered wire back rest. This allows her to sit upright on shelves, without having to lean on anything.

We use no molds for our figures - each face is handsculpted, one at a time, which means each face is different. This is what makes each handmade doll unique. While the faces of the men elf dolls do vary a little, the faces and the hair of the lady dolls vary greatly from doll to doll, so each lady doll's face is photographed individually.

Elisa loves to walk through the beautiful fields that surround her home, occasionally collecting small bits of nature to decorate her house with.
Elisa is wearing a cotton velveteen skirt, and a thick french terry knit shirt of organic cotton and hemp. She has a cotton apron trimmed with organic cotton braid. She wears a warm flannel shawl and has beige cotton velveteen legs, and is covered with handstitched patches. Her hat is organic cotton knit, topped with an organic cotton yarn tassel. A small glass teardrop necklace completes her outfit.
From one arm Elisa holds her bag, made from colorgrown organic cotton (colorgrown means that no dyes are used - the cotton grows in the USA already in this beautiful shade of cream). It is trimmed with organic cotton yarn, and an organic cotton braid bow and small glass beads. (It's fun to note that the delicate hand-dyed braid used in the tote and to trim Elisa's skirt, is made in South Carolina with an antique braiding machine and 13 strands of organic cotton yarn). Her tote is filled with Maine balsam.
Elisa is 14" tall (12" when seated), as measured from the top of her head (not the top of her hat) to the bottom of her boots.
Elisa's face is hand sculpted using felt over clay. Her eyes are handblown/handpainted German glass. Her hair is made from natural flax fiber (grey) or natural hemp fiber (white). She is stuffed with a combination of recycled glass pellets and organic cotton stuffing. Her arms are wired. All of our dolls are 100% vegan.
