Sometimes you meet people who really inspire. Oena is such a person and this doll I have made for her. It is not a portrait and not a caricature but in this piece I wanted to capture the kindness, compassion, sensitivity and humour that I always feel when I meet her. The fairy wings I made using the same lace material I used making Oena's wedding bouquet and since tea is a favourite of hers, the little porcelain tea set fit perfectly.
I hope she likes it.
