Tiny China

I don't shy away from a damsel in distress. Wearing her tatters she is a wee delight. Some would prefer her to be perfect, but we all have our flaws. Like the velveteen rabbit, this is what makes her real to me. Her life was not easy. Like the pioneer girl in whose pocket she tarried, she was a traveler. The stains of play decorate her child made garment, proving this: Her destiny was fulfilled. She was dropped, but loved, and thus picked up again, rescued, saved. And now she is mine.

Sneak PEEK!

This my hard working student from Bolivia, with whom I spent the last 4 months at school. As you can see Viviana doesn't shy away from hard work! That's Kiddo, a retired dressage horse. He has lost his topline, I don't ride him much anymore. But he's still handsome.

New Penny Dollies Coming June 10th

At last! On PFATT Marketplace I will have new dollies. So mark your calendar. I have some new girls, purses, collages and introducing.....drumroll please.... A GENTLEMAN!!! It's going to be so exciting! All decked out in vintage finery, I have used all kinds of lovely bits of trinkets and trims, all old, all soft and subtle.

Happy Mother's Day

This lovely Mother Daughter vignette is from a very early daguerrotype. It dates to before the civil war. I took the image and stitched it to this sewing pocket available on my PFATT Marketplace for May. The little owl is there too.

Halloween Party in May!

Little Roly Poly Punkin' Polly is for sale in my PFATT Marketplace shoppe, Happy Mother's Day!

New Work!

Here is my newest work, a "door hanger" or dolly pocket. The dolly has a calico civil war repro print, and she has a kettle cloth pocket. The "WELCOME" sign is printed on an old religious newspaper.

It measures 8 by 6 not including the pocket, and the penny doll has jointed arms, and is 4.45" tall. Email me to purchase! OOPs, this one is SOLD, email me for orders.

I wish you could smell these! Its smells like heaven.

More penny dolls are coming soon!

Mes Poupees Toutes en Bois

Here are a few quick shots I took of these dollies before I sent them off to sunny California. You can see the lovely photos taken by Stampington photographer Christopher McLean in Art Doll Quarterly May/June/July 2009 issue out now.
