Lady Pandora for Samy Odin at the Paris France Doll Museum.......

It was my great honour to be asked by Samy Odin to make his doll museum in Paris France, a doll for the most recent exhibit.  Samy came to my home and studio last September to see my dolls and have a visit.  After returning to France he contacted me and had an idea which he commissioned me to do for his Museedelapoupeeparis.com Fashion doll exhibit.  He wanted a doll to represent the earliest of Fashion Pandore's right down to the powdered wig.
I have posted a few photos for you to see.  There will be more photos coming from Samy and I will show you the exhibit photos when they are made available to me.
Lady Pandora was about 30" tall and fully jointed.  She had layers of clothing and an antique French Toile Gown that I replicated for her.
Enjoy these photos for now and I will post more at a later time or email me for more photos of her in the making.  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

The "Sliver Sisters" are all finished.......and all SOLD



This group of Sliver Sister dolls are all SOLD.
I thought it would be fun to show you all four of the "Sliver Sisters" finished.
The only one that is still available is the one on the right in the faced floral gown.
They are only 6" tall, not including their long baby gowns and they are jointed at the hips. All of their clothes and bonnets are hand sewn. This was just too much fun.......................but a lot of work.
Enjoy the photos.
If you have questions or are interested in one just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Now it is time to work on something a little larger!!

4 little 6" English wooden dolls in the making process........




I just thought I would share a couple of photos of 4 little English Poppets that I affectionately refer to as Slivers!! They are small but so sweet! I have had so much fun making these little babies to accompany my larger wooden dolls. One might even end up being a little lady!


If you would like more info or finished photos of these 4 just email me.

Three sisters.......SOLD







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