Come and Take It

14.5" tall (seated) X 9" wide X 10" deep

Come and Take It declares the defiant Texas frontier wife with the flag she is sewing and her sly smile.

The young lady is a soft sculpture doll over a wire armature. Her face is sculpted with needle and thread and colored with pastels and prisma pencils. She has a mohair wig. Her cotton dress and glove leather shoes reflect the style of dress common in the 1830's, when Texas was seeking independence from Mexico.

The flag is entirely handmade, using embroidery and appliqué stitches. It is a replica of an authentic flag used during the Texas Revolution.
