I post most dolls as finished but if you would like to know in advace what I am working on feel free to contact me anytime and I can usually send off some photos of the latest dolls I have in the works. Custom orders are possible as well.

Yes there is something new here to see!!

You will now find Early English Wooden Queen Anne style dolls here, as always.......................but now I have also added a new project as well. Although they are not wooden, I have been reproducing some Izannah Walker dolls and loving it. This is something that I have had in the works for a while now and just had to challenge myself to do it. I feel it best to show both styles of dolls that I am making on one site and I hope you enjoy seeing both and come by often to see what is new. If you wish to contact me just email toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

22" Libby is finally finished....

SOLD














This lady is huge! She is 22" tall and as you see in the photos, much larger than Anna and Belle, her two similar sisters.
She is hand carved from basswood and fully jointed. She would need a good doll stand or chair to sit in.
Her lovely Queen Anne face is very detailed and has antique black pupiless eyes. Her eyelids and eyebrows are fine and dotted just as the early Queen Annes were.
Her 2 pc. dress in all handmade by me from some early French cotton and her skirt has the 2 slits to reach into her matching pockets.......Her petticoat is made from a piece of an early petticoat that I have cut down for her. She has silk slippers that match her outfit, of course. She has a sizable bum-roll that ties in the front under her dress. Libby's dress is just above ankle length in the front and tappers down to floor length in the back.
She is so much lovelier in person than in the photos. I do have lots of photos of her that I took as I was making her, so if you would like to see more, just email me: Toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
or call 705 489-1046
Libby is finished and looking for a home.
Thanks for looking!
Kathy
