| The Angler is an
ORIGINAL DESIGNER doll available exclusively, in a Limited Edition of
10, through Elegant Portrayals Design Studio. Each doll is produced
from the artist's work mold and direct-sculpted to prepare all
porcelain pieces and accessories.
|
Geoffrey is an original sculpture by Michelle Lightner. He stands
approximately 30" tall, to the tip of his fly rod. The costume has
been designed to replicate an authentic casting shirt, fly fishing vest and
light-weight waders. He has been designed using a wire armature and is
permanently posed on a sturdy, wooden stand.
|
Geoffrey has molded and hand-painted hair, moustache, and
side-burns. His embroidered "Catch and Release" hat symbolizes the meaning of the series.
|
He holds a hand-painted, porcelain trout in his hands, ready for
"immediate release." The trout is hand-painted by the artist to
replicate a
Rainbow, Brown or Cut Throat.
|
Geoffrey's fly rod is made of bamboo material, with hand-wrapped
guides and hand-tied flies. The handle and reel are sculpted in
porcelain, trimmed in 14K White Gold and hand-painted by the
artist.

The sculpted porcelain net is hand

completed with netting to depict the "Catch and Release" net.

A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies each doll, with the
number of the edition documented. Each doll is signed by the artist on
the back of the breast plate and china fired to preserve the
signature.
