~ Dolls ~

and other childhood toys

I make different types of dolls... folk art, early style, vintage, or whimsical. Some dolls may have a recognizable period look to them, while others will reflect my mood and whimsy of the day. Some will have new fabrics and some will have old textiles saved from times past. All will be unique. I do not use purchased patterns. I have made my own by sketching the doll shape. I usually make the clothing as I work, cutting and hand sewing to fit the doll's proportions. Some dolls will be simple and unadorned, while some will be embellished with trinkets and baubles found during my junk shop trips. My dolls are made with toys of long ago in mind. All are signed and dated.
