Penguin in Blue & Chartreuse Stripes Shoes and boots This darling little pinup dress

This darling little pinup dress is made from Korean hanji paper in pink and purple flowers on a pale lime green background

The faint shimmer of handmade purple Japanese papers evokes the silk crepe of the underdress and silk velvet of the tabard

The body of the dress is made from a Japanese paper embedded with strands of shiny rayon fibres

I layered Japanese mizutama watermark tissue in dark rose over a shimmering lilac paper

Penguin in Blue & Chartreuse Stripes Shoes and boots This darling little pinup dressBased on a 1792 illustration of Pinguinaria patachonica (Penguin) from Musei Leveriani Explicatio, Anglica Et Latina. The penguin is 4. 75 inches tall, stitched by hand on 5x7 inch 100% cotton watercolour paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame in that size, and be ready to hang on your wall. Materials: Nepalese paper, glass bead, and cotton floss on cotton paper.
