Description

Phillipe was born in France and now shares his time between Paris and Edinburgh, where he lives part of the year in each city.
He is an Artistic Director of a theatre company and has a background in film, ballet and mime. His mother is Scottish and his father French and this only causes friction during the six nations rugby tournament when the national teams play one another.
Although he outwardly appears quite serious, he is both intelligent and very amusing.
He enjoys cooking traditional French dishes but occasionally he enjoys a toasted sandwich with cheese and marmalade (a habit he picked up from his mother).
He is always frank in his comments and this character trait does not always translate well with his scottish counterparts. However, he is well liked and many describe him as being romantic on the inside, but hard as a coconut on the outside.
He enjoys cold water swimming and when possible, takes a daily dip in the sea at Portobello (even in winter)

 

Phillipe is lovingly handmade with quality fabrics and with the greatest attention to details:
His body is from organic cotton and stuffed with hypo-allergenic polyester fibre.
His trousers are checked, his t-shirt is pink cotton, his jacket is grey felt and his boots are turquoise felt. He is wearing blue boxer shorts. (His boots are not removable.) His accessories include a vegan leather crossbody satchel and a pink scarf.
Facial features and glasses are hand painted with acrylic paints and inktense pencils.
His dark hair with a silver streak is wool roving which has been needle felted.

Phillipe is an extremely well behaved, mannerly, gentleman who will happily rest against your books on a bookshelf or can stand with a support (metal stand included)

All of my figures come with a printed out back story and care instructions.

All of my Art Dolls are unique and cut from my own original patterns and designs.
Each Art Doll is made with love and care, and as such I only use quality fabrics and paints.
My Art Dolls are for display only as they are textile sculptures rather than toys and are therefore NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN.
