Balikaa and her sisters could not refrain from sharing their hearts' desires - and when the truth emerged it went not well for the one who would trifle with these ladies. The bathing and laundry required to remove all traces of the villain were followed by a most tasty celebratory tea.

Balikaa stands 26 1/2" (67cm) tall, a vision of upcycled beauty. Her cotton body is filled with merino wool left over from cloth-weaving, while she wears an assemblage of vintage silks, lace, leather, netting and tulle.As with her sisters, it is important that she steps lightly upon the earth.
