Viola

Viola pirouetting in a patchwork skirt of ancient French toile de jouy fabric and lace fragments.  
Silk sleeves and bloomers make her feel wonderfully special. 
Her little apron was fashioned from a vintage collar and is embroidered with a delicate pansy flower. I added the hand painted silk viola to the front of her skirt with naive hand stitching.
