Silent Auction: Tears of the Kingdom Link Doll
Winner: Pharmacistjudge has an aesthetic for $2,205.00
This mixed-media soft sculpture doll brings Link, Hero of Courage, into a miniature and slightly-squishable form! Hug him, pose him, gently play with him; this detailed cloth doll is sure to delight. Based on his design from Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and wearing the iconic Archaic armor set, this doll is fully jointed and has posable hands. Link is approximately 20 inches tall and comes with a 9x9 inch wooden display stand. His body is made of cotton fabric and stuffed with polyfill. Link's hair is made from merino wool and his face is painted with acrylic paints and oil pastels. His tunic is made from woven cotton and wool knit with hand-embroidered details. His Ultrahand is built up from multiple layers of felt and hand-painted with fabric paints. He has accessories made from leather, suede, wood, glass, polymer clay, and a few other materials. Charge up his Zonai energy cells with light and they'll glow in the dark!

I am a mixed-media artist who dabbles in a bit of everything. I come from a family of artists and began drawing, painting, and sewing as a child, however I have minimal formal education in the arts. I made my first cloth doll about 15 years ago and have focused on doll-making since around 2015. I love making mixed-media dolls because it feels like "cheating" - I can use all sorts of techniques, tools, and materials in a single project, so I don't have to admit that I have too many hobbies!
