For the new year...a new doll in progress, made at the request of my daughter!
...my daughter who does not like dolls.
She doesn't want to keep it, I think she just wanted to see me make it.
So this doll will be in the shop as soon as I decide how to dress her.
She is by far the largest doll I've ever made - about 24" tall.
She is made from 100% homespun cotton, and entirely stitched by hand (yes, every stitch!)
Her features are embroidered with thread from my vintage thread collection, and her hair is of mohair yarn. Q picked out the hair color, thread color and dimensions.
I am quite fond of her, and can't wait to find the time to make her clothes!

I just got in some Japanese paper clay - a wonderful medium! And there is a new doll in the shop, Isabelle!
She is just 6" tall and light as a feather, jointed with wire. Her hair is hand-sewn from mohair, her dress from vintage lace (her polka dot leotard peeks out from underneath) and she wears an aged bronze necklace with a tiny, vintage bell from India.
OOPS...already SOLD!

And while you're at it, check out one of MY personal favorites from this holiday season, the Voute Céleste skirt from Le Carrousel. Yes, Q will be wearing it this holiday season!!
