Dee-Lovely Story

Item #1177

(February, 1987) I finished sculpting this statue on Valentine’s Day. The face of Dee-Lovely is my interpretation of the beautiful actress (and Woodspirit collector) Dee Wallace Stone. She is holding a sea shell which is a gift from another collector, Denise Gornto. The heart-shaped shell has a very fragile perforation through its center, and little Dee seems to be saying, “Don’t go breaking my heart. Be my Valentine.” The roses on her dress are complemented by the edelweiss on the Austrian coin.
