2 New Sliver Sisters are now finished and available..................SOLD

BOTH OF THESE DOLLS ARE NOW SOLD.
These are both 9" tall and jointed at the hips.  The upper arms are linen and they have tiny carved fingers.  These copies of the little English wooden dolls from the late 1700's just make you smile!  At least they make me smile.

I hope you smile when you see these Sliver Sisters too!!

Lots of doll making going on here today!!

Here are some photos of what I am working on today.  There are 4 Sliver Sisters (they need their bonnets and hair to look complete but the faces make me smile!) and there is one glass eyed carved wooden English that I have been working on as well.  She will be about 14" when finished...........still a long way to go.  SOLD
Two of the Sliver Sisters are still available as of right now.  The larger doll sold right away when I put these photos on my site.
If you would like to see any of the Sliver Sisters when they are completed just email me.

Lady Pandora for Samy Odin at the Paris France Doll Museum.......

It was my great honour to be asked by Samy Odin to make his doll museum in Paris France, a doll for the most recent exhibit.  Samy came to my home and studio last September to see my dolls and have a visit.  After returning to France he contacted me and had an idea which he commissioned me to do for his Museedelapoupeeparis.com Fashion doll exhibit.  He wanted a doll to represent the earliest of Fashion Pandore's right down to the powdered wig.
I have posted a few photos for you to see.  There will be more photos coming from Samy and I will show you the exhibit photos when they are made available to me.
Lady Pandora was about 30" tall and fully jointed.  She had layers of clothing and an antique French Toile Gown that I replicated for her.

Enjoy these photos for now and I will post more at a later time or email me for more photos of her in the making.  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

new 9" Sliver Sister.......lady..........SOLD

Here is a new 9" Sliver Sister lady that I have just finished..............minutes ago.
She is wearing a very very early piece of linen with a wonderful greyish purple print.  Her hips are jointed and she has tiny carved hands and fingers.

She is now available for sale.   SOLD
If you are interested in her or would like more photos, just email me  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

The "Sliver Sisters" are all finished.......and all SOLD

This group of Sliver Sister dolls are all SOLD.
I thought it would be fun to show you all four of the "Sliver Sisters" finished.
The only one that is still available is the one on the right in the faced floral gown.
They are only 6" tall, not including their long baby gowns and they are jointed at the hips. All of their clothes and bonnets are hand sewn. This was just too much fun.......................but a lot of work.
Enjoy the photos.
If you have questions or are interested in one just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Now it is time to work on something a little larger!!

4 little 6" English wooden dolls in the making process........

I just thought I would share a couple of photos of 4 little English Poppets that I affectionately refer to as Slivers!! They are small but so sweet! I have had so much fun making these little babies to accompany my larger wooden dolls. One might even end up being a little lady!

If you would like more info or finished photos of these 4 just email me.

Three sisters.......SOLD

I had mentioned before that Celia was carved from using the profile of my deplorable Old Queen Anne doll. I just thought I would share some photos of Celia, her un-dressed sister and my original old QA doll so you can see. If my Old Queen Anne from about 1760 or so had her gesso and paint still on her face she would be the type of doll like Celia and her sister.
My poor old doll has no arms or legs or paint but I love her anyway. If only she could talk!

Enjoy the photos.

Celia and her un-dressed sister are available for sale.  SOLD
