Magdalena

Magdalena has, unfortunately, proved the undoing of more souls than just poor Amalia.
She once - briefly - dwelled with a poet in a picturesque cottage beside the perfect babbling brook.  The very night of her arrival, they lay beneath the night sky, gazing rapt at the boundless swathe of stars as he composed sonnets to his love's own incomparable beauty.
He may well have written the most moving lines in literary history, the very apogee of the poet's art...but alas we shall never know.  He had not chance to record his words upon paper; his still, cold corpse was dicoveres the next morning yet clutching a lock of sanguine hair between his bloodless fingers.
 
21.5" (54cm) tall, with a wingspan of 15.5" (39cm), Magdalena is entirely handsewn, using sustainable resources: recycled cotton, vintage lace & a repurposed earring; her hair & filling are both UK-produced wool.
