The Chicklettes by Lori Mitchell

$23.95

These have got to be the cutest interpretation of playful chicks!  The Chicklettes by Lori Mitchell are popping out of their colorful shells to welcome spring and Easter.  The cluster of flapping wings, chirping beaks and crazy striped socks will have you smiling in no time.  Although they are sold individually – pink, aqua or purple polka dot shell – the trio of Chicklettes makes a great statement.

Description

The Chicklettes by Lori Mitchell are imaginary residents of the Easter Fantasy World created by the popular American Folk Artist.  Imbued with a nostalgic quality that reminds collectors of old toys and Mother Goose characters, each papier-mâché statue tells a story. With a little imagination, you can arrange any number of Lori Mitchell’s characters to recreate your own childhood memories.  A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Ms. Mitchell found her inspiration in the bulbous-bodied, slim legged look of Film-Maker Tim Burton’s animated characters. East Coast based, Lori Mitchell began sculpting her characters in 1998 and has never looked back.  “As a kid, I found everything exciting and surprising, so I like for these figures to unlock that sense of wonder.  My intention is to entertain adults as well as children, so there’s got to be a certain level of sophistication to pull adults back into childhood.”
