Sadunai and Lodi
Sold
 |
Sadunai and Lodie are both Treeans. Sadunai
(pronounced sah-doo-nay) is the grandma
of Lodie who is a very young 23 years old.
Treeans don't mature fully until they reach
100 years of age, so she is still very much
a child. Lodie has had a rough day and has
played especially hard, which has completely
worn her out, and consequently she wore
Sadunai out as well. Although She loves
her grand daughter deeply, she does tend
to take a bit out of her since she is reaching
the respectable age of 1500 years.

Sadunai is tucking Lodie into bed, and will follow
her shortly into the land of slumber, but she
won't hit the hay herself until she is comfortable
knowing Lodie is safe and sound. Treeans take
pride in their young ones, and are doting parents
and grandparents who tend to spoil them more than
just a little. Lodie has her trusted teddy tucked
neatly under her arm as she drifts off to sleep
and her other bear sits on the floor at the end
of her bed.
Lodie rests on a rope style bed which is strung
with leather cording. The bed is handmade by myself
out of redwood and pine, with mortise and tenon
joints, and covered in a soft flannel covered
mattress and pillow. The bed is dressed with hand
sewn cotton sheets, pillow case, and hand sewn
and quilted white blanket all made from vintage
bed clothes. On the floor is a woven throw rug
made from recycled material.
Lodie wears cotton knit, one piece footed pajamas,
with a flap in the back. Sadunai wears cotton
shirt, skirt, bloomers, and apron, and a 100%
virgin wool bodice. Lodie's hair and eyelashes
are made from natural blonde color mohair, and
Sadunai's hair and eyebrows are made from tussah
(also known as vegetarian) silk. Lodie's tussled
hair is left unstyled, but Sadunai's hair is in
a bun on top of her head with a braid surrounding
it.
Heads, hands and feet are sculpted out of polymer
clay by hand over a wire armature with soft bodies
which allow both of them to be fully poseable.
The bodies were hand sewn as were all their clothes
and bed accessories.
They both come with a hand fashioned redwood
base which makes a nice display piece. It also
has two brass rods that hold Sadunai in an upright
position. She can stand firmly on her own, but
the rods hold her securely to the base. Everything
can be removed from the base including the bed
and rug if it is so desired.
Sadunai is 10 inches to the top of her bun in
a standing position. Lodie, fully extended, is
7 inches from the tips of her toes to the top
of her head. The base is approximately 11 inches
square and the bed stands 8 1/2 inches tall to
the top of the head board posts. The teddy bears
are 1 3/4 inches and 1 1/4 inches tall.
As with all of my creations, all work is one
of a kind and will never be reproduced, nor was
it made with the use of molds of any kind. Not
only will Sadunai and Lodie never be reproduced,
the furniture and accessories will never be copied.
The entire set is completely original and comes
completely from my imagination with the exception
of the bears. No patterns or plans were used for
the wooden pieces.
All items were hand made by myself with the exception
of the two bears which were created by my niece
Amanda Buchanan who does wonderful work in her
own right. The bears are hand sculpted without
the use of molds and are one of a kind as well
and will never be reproduced.
The Sadunai and Lodie set will come signed and
dated and numbered 11 as they are my 11th creation.
They will also be accompanied by a signed and
dated photo certificate of authenticity. I guarantee
that all my work is 100% original pure sculpts
and all accessories, unless otherwise specified
will be hand made without the use of any plans
or patterns, other than what comes specifically
from my own making.
This work is considered a set and will not be
sold separately or in pieces.
