Hello Dolly


A more jumped up bird it would be difficult to find. Dolly is so full of her own importance she only sits in trees whose leaves bring out the very best in her lavish plumage. Legendary for her fine blue flash on her head feather, hen Dolly is in fact no more than a loud show girl of a bird. However having on...ce seen the film "Hello Dolly" on Brighton beach she adopted the name of Dolly Levi when she recognised this kindred spirit and took it to her little birdie heart.

I do make my own slips with steins and then I sieve them through a 200 mesh sieve which makes then very easy to blend with other colours. Also better for scraffito work too.
