Alphonsine, a French 19th century children’s pull toy, is finally complete and what a transformation. Her head was fractured in two, one leg broken, another deformed, and more. Her tail was falling off, bobble head broken, horse hair missing from her collar, and she’d lost her voice. After an incredible amount of work by @loperatorium and myself, she is finally ready to return to the world. Barking on all four feet!
