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.

Are you sure you are not a reincarnated dressmaker from Queen Anne's court?
Every stitch and detail is exquisite... I love her little pocket.
So much for taking it easy eh?
