Handmade dolls

I love to make dolls and make all kinds -- they sell and I make more. Some are scary, some are sweet, some look old and all are completely made from hand, no machines of any kind.

These two both sold at separate shows.

The sleeping elephant is made from hand dyed muslin and inked features, fully hand-stitched, stuffed with wool and her dress was made from a fragment of an antique silk sari with a crocheted collar -- she has extreme charm and wears a lucky jade ring.

The early style lady was made from wool stuffed heavy muslin, a primed & gessoed then casein painted face -- she sold in the nude.

I've been away and stopped in to visit.
Wish you joyful and rewarding experiences in your efforts, cheers :)

Making dolls makes me happy.

Very cool! I want to see more. How much do they sell for?

Thank you dear.

I usually sell in the range from $60 to $200.

Nice! It seems like a fun hobby.

It's a wonderful way to spend some time -- I love needle arts ad find them relaxing.

Love the character you put into these! As ever, I'm inspired by your many talents! <3

<3 Doll making and writing were my savior outlets as a child, and in a way they still are. Thank you, Miss Tina. :)

Love the doily dresses on these lovelies! You are always creating, I love it!

I am.. lol. Someday maybe I'll make a living. hahaha.

You are living, making a living and living a living. There are so many empty others out there. I am always happy to be crazy lol

As are you -- the empty others, oh gurl, that's a whole subject and it's a reality. lol.

Just glad we are inhabiting our lives... crazy is awesome and freeing. lol. <3
