14" Agatha Higgs a Hand Carved Wooden 17th Century Style Doll............SOLD

I am so pleased to show you 14" Agatha Higgs.  She is now finished and SOLD.  Her patina is fabulous, so much nicer than in these photos.  She has an amazing William Higgs style body  and is jointed and the knees and hips.  Her upper arms are linen.  She is dressed from head to toe in very early embroidered silk and the most amazing early, slightly polished, faded linen that is scrumptious!
The lace that I used for her cap and sleevelets is from the 1700's and came from England.  You will see that Agatha has her Chatelaine hanging from her waist and she is ready to do some sewing with her tiny scissors and thimble and pinball that I made for her.
She has a swivel head which makes her pose so nicely.

Just to share:

      Hi Kathy,

           Agatha just arrived!  How exciting to see such an amazing work of art!  I love her!  Wow, this beautiful doll is just exquisite.  Her face is very sweet, with so much personality.  Her gown and shoes are the dream of any well-dressed lady. With her wonderful little sewing chatelaine, I'm sure she is busy dreaming of the next beautiful gown that she will design and sew.  I think I'll dream right along with her!  She is just perfection, and I can't quit staring at her.  Thank you so much!
 

24" 1790's Queen Anne Hand Carved Wooden Doll in the Works!.......................SOLD

She is nameless so far but I just had to share some photos.  This doll is a BIG one!  She is 24" tall.
She will be finished off today.  As you see, no sparse hair or necklace yet.  I am dressing her in her antique undergarments only.  If someone likes to sew they could make her a dress but I love her in her undies and ruffled cap.  She is still being worked on but take a look.  She is SOLD.
If you have any questions or would like more photos just email me:  babesfromthewoods@gmail.com
Enjoy!

She has great patina!  She looks like she was well loved and found in an attic.

Almost finished............

Must share this lovely email:

Hi Kathy,

                      I thought I heard a truck outside, and feeling hopeful and excited, rushed to the window. It was indeed the UPS truck delivering my beautiful Lyla!   Couldn't open the box fast enough. Oh, she is so very beautiful!  I love her soooo much!  I'm just thrilled beyond measure with her.  She is just truly a vision in gold, with the beautiful goldenrod embroidered silk dress, to the pretty gold silk ribbon adorning her dress and hat, and shoes.  She has such a beautiful, sweet expression on her face.  Just lovely - a stunning, amazing doll from head to toe.  The sweet little pinball adds the perfect touch!  Thank you! Your craftsmanship is truly impeccable.   I looked up the meaning of her name, and it is so fitting for her.  Here's what I found:  "Lyla - dainty, pretty, and loaded with antique charm".  Those words do describe this beautiful doll. Just perfection!   I will sit and admire her all afternoon!  Thank you so very much!!!
