6" English wooden baby.........SOLD

SOLD

Once in a while it is good to try something new. This is a little 6" baby English wooden with painted eyes and jointed body. See her tiny wooden fingers! She is just the right size to be held by a larger wooden doll. She is a copy of the old style with the painted eyes. This was so fun to make so I hope you enjoy her.

She is now SOLD. I do have a second one that I am working on so if you are interested just email me.

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

Three sisters.......

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.

If you would like more info or photos just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

24" Tess and 21" Celia are the two dolls that are available for sale right now......

Scroll down to see more photos of Tess and Celia.
Note: I also have an undressed doll like Celia that is available if someone wants to dress a Queen Anne themselves. She would pass for Celia's twin sister.
If you would like more photos or have questions just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

21" Celia is now all finished..............

This is Celia. She is 21" tall and from about the 1750-1760 period of English wooden dolls, if she were old. I just finished her this morning and now she is looking for a home.

Celia is copied off of my Old Queen Anne doll that is in deplorable condition but I bought her for study and so that I could carve wooden dolls with the exact profile to her. I am going to take some better photos of her later with Tess the other wooden doll that is for sale at this time. I will post them later.

Celia is dressed from top to bottom (silk slippers included) in antique fabrics and antique metallic trims and more trims................ My fingers are a mess from so much stitching to make her clothes but she likes them and that is all that matters.......right!

Celia is available for sale now.
I hope you enjoy seeing Celia even though the photos are on a bath towel! I promise, better photos a bit later. If you have questions or would like to see more photos of Celia or Tess, just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

Maud is 14" tall and now finished and looking for a home...

SOLD

This is Maud. She is 14" tall and fully jointed. She has such a sweet but serious little face. Her head is about the size of a small lime. Maud's eyes are antique black pupiless glass eyes and her hair, although sparse, is peeking out of her hand made lace cap. The antique fabric I used for her dress is a fabulous paisley (my favorite!). She has a wide bum-roll that makes her hips quite wide on either side and her gown falls perfectly to her side. (look at the mess on my table!)

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

Maud is finished and available at this time.

14" Violet is finished.......

SOLD

This is Violet. She is 14" tall and dressed in very old fabric from head to toe. Her slippers are antique silk.

She is fully jointed and hand carved from basswood that grows on our property.

Violet's clothes are all hand stitched and a little tattered! She was not the bell of the ball, she might have been the seamstress that sewed for the Lady's of the castle!

She really has a nice old look to her.

If you would like more photos or information, just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

Thanks for looking.

Olive, Mildred's sister is all dressed now.....

SOLD

Olive was naked for a couple of weeks and getting chilly here in the north, so I dressed her. She is in very old fabrics and a hand quilted petticoat. All of her clothing is hand stitched. Her slippers are silk. Olive is fully jointed and all hand carved from basswood that grows on our 200 acres of bush.

She has a gentle face and the wear and patina on her face is wonderful. Click any photo to make it full screen so you can see the details.

She is fashioned after the wonderful William Higgs style that I love so much. Both Mildred and Olive Higgs are now finished and available. If you have questions or would like more photos just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca or call me at 705 489-1046.

27 1/2" Nettie is finally dressed....AND SOLD

SOLD

Here is the Huge Nettie doll that I have been putting of dressing. I loved her in her underclothes sitting in my kitchen window, but, in all fairness, she really did need clothes!

These are not the most flatering photos of her in my kitchen..........but she looks so good in our red kitchen!

She is all hand carved from basswood and if she were old, she would be from around 1720-1740 in style and clothing. Her clothing is all hand stitched and made from antique fabrics. She has layers of clothing that include a chemise, petticoat, quilted petticoat, over-skirt, and a bodice/corset to match. Her pinball waist hook has a pair of scissors in a shaft, a silk pinball and a secret key! Her cap is made from a fabulous early baby cap that I cut down to fit her huge head. Her eyes are antique black pupiless eyes and slightly turned down. Nettie's eyebrows and eye lids are dotted with tiny dots just like her ancient sister's were. Her face is very serene and her patina would pass for old. She is delightful! If you are interested in a huge Queen Anne doll, she is wonderful. If you would like more photos or have questions just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

Happy New Year!
