Eucalypta is the Gum Tree Spirit who lives in the valleys of the beautiful Blue Mountains near my home, a truly Australian doll. Her body is contoured in six pieces. She is button jointed at the shoulders, has gusset joints at the elbows and her fingers are wired. Instructions are included to make the gum blossoms that adorn her elegant leaf gown which is made from templates traced from actual leaves. Her face is needle sculpted and hand drawn and she wears a gum blossom hat. I have designed Eucalypta as a hanging doll to replicate the fall of the leaves on the beautiful trees that give her identity. She is 53cm (21in).
