To learn more about these spectacular artist creations, JOLLIES the whimsical work of the late Barbara Fernando, please visit The Library here on the site. There, you will find an interesting article entitled "Jolly Chow" containing additional information. |
Only three of the Jolly Fairies were ever created. The five-piece body was made of latex poured into a mold, but to create bent legs, Barbara sculpted this leg model by hand. The wings incorporated "real fairy dust"! Note the exquisite detail in the hand made garland of applied tiny pink rosebuds and the “butterfly wing” shadowing over the eyes. |

By making subtle variations to the very first mold Barbara Fernando sculpted and incorporating different painting styles, Jolly “Number One” was altered and became a Chinese Jolly, complete with long queue and paper fan. This exotic Jolly quickly became one of the most popular of all. $2400.00 |

In this early creation by Barbara, a Winter Jolly, one is able to see her perfected skills in the sculpting of the doll’s head. Different sized antique eyes were used from one character to another, lending each piece its unique appearance. This fellow stays toasty warm in his knitted cap and muffler. $1850.00 |

Classic Jolly Clown with especially gorgeous blue eyes and a whimsical expression! |

Jolly Model #1 is a truly fine tribute to the Palmer Cox Brownies of the nineteenth-century. The merry band of Brownie elves and their philosophy was compatible with Freemasonry, which was the practice of “making good men better.” Only individuals believed to be of the finest character were allowed to join. This honorable fellow surely would have passed the test...that is if he were a Brownie! $1995.00 |
