Stranded yet again! It’s becoming increasingly more difficult to find dependable forest creatures willing to pull your sleigh thru the enchanted forest of Willow Hollow. All snug and cozy in his, temporarily (he hopes!), stalled means of transportation, Mossley patiently awaits the return of the little squirrel who was lured away by the trail of fairy dust, as even squirrels aren’t immune to the enticements of fairy lore. Though a bit inconvenient, Mossley knows traveling by any means other than by foot is always a bit ‘iffy’. But he does so enjoy the speed at which he can arrive at his destination…well, that is providing there’s nothing else going on in the enchanted forest that particular day, and, of course, that just is unheard of!

Mossley's Description

Little Mossley, sitting 9 ½” tall in his sleigh of 11” long (if standing, Mossley would be approximately 13” tall), waits patiently while the squirrel, most recently pulling his sleigh, scampers about the enchanted forests of Willow Hollow, not being able to resist the playful antics of his fellow forest creatures. Fixed permanently to his sleigh in a sitting position, Mossley is quite comfortable with his warm quilt and cushy pillow. His sleigh is made of wood, bark and metal and decorated with soft reindeer moss, along with silk and latex flowers, making his stay a bit more comfortable. Mossley is one-of-a-kind and entirely hand sculpted from polymer clay - no molds are ever used when creating Lil Darlin's of Willow Hollow afterall! His head, arms and legs are hand sculpted from a flesh tone polymer clay. After the initial sculpt, his body parts are baked then given a rosy hue with oil paints and an overall wash of a dark acrylic paint which allows for his many details, such as all those laugh and life lines as well as all the other wrinkles even elves are not immune to, to show to their best advantage. Once his robes , draped about his body, along with his quilt and pillow, have been created (all of which is done with thinly rolled colored clay), he is given a final baking. He has large, brown glass eyes, a somewhat larger than normal nose (although never too large for an elf), with ears to match, and white, wool fleece hair and eyebrows. His many other details include little bare feet (elves never wear shoes afterall! … this, by the way, does not mean your shoes are safe from the sticky fingers of elves), those knobby knees of his, fingernails and toenails. Along with Mossley is a printed, appropriately fashioned, 5 1/2” by 4 1/4” story card telling of his unique perdickament in the enchanted forests of Willow Hollow along with a small, wooden card holder to set next to Mossley so all can enjoy his entertaining tale.
As with all Lil Darlin's made entirely of clay, this piece is signed by the artist.
