22" Sophie is now finished.......and SOLD

SOLD














Sophie measures just under 22" tall. Big lady!
Her eyes are antique black pupiless glass. Her tiny smile suggests she knows something!!
She is fully joined and hand carved from basswood. Her dress is silk and her petticoat is antique hand embroidered cotton. Her slippers.........silk of course. She stands or sits well.
I just finished Sophie tonight and have a lot of photos of her being made but I just put a couple on for you to see her. She is so much nicer in person than in these photos. I am working on that.

If you have questions or would like to see more just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

As promised................Victoria!

SOLD














Finally, Victoria is completed.





She measures 20" tall and is fully jointed. She is dressed in silk and and has Antique cotton petticoat and silk slippers. The lace on her cap is very very old and really suits her. These photos do not really do her justice, but she is really quite something in person.
She missed the trip to Atlanta, she really did want to attend the UFDC, but could not figure out what to wear! Now she needs a home.
If you would like more photos or have questions, just email me at toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
thanks for looking.
Happy Weekend!

Here is lovely Julia....

SOLD














Her is Julia........just over 19" tall and dressed in antique French linen. She has a blue striped underskirt and the same lining in her bodice sleeves.
She is one of the more fine featured Queen Anne style dolls from the first quarter of the 18th century. I love making these dolls. Being a detail person, I love the features of her face and the tiny dotted eyes and eyebrows. Her eyes are antique black pupiless glass eyes. Click on any photo to see her full screen.
If you have questions about my dolls or would like to see what is in the works next, just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

Happy 4th of July!

Stella is finished now....


SOLD













Stella has been consuming a lot of time over the past 5 days...........but here she is.





At 20 1/2" she is a very big Higgs type from the 1680's.
Finally I have been able to rig up a stand to make her stand for some photos. She is fully jointed and does sit well too.
I am working on a new doll and hope to post some photos later today or tomorrow. If you would like more info, just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Have a great day!
Happy Canada Day!
