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

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

My girls, in particular, are wowed- my youngest says that when she's earning the first thing she'll buy me is one of your dolls! Sweet!! Also I forgot to tell you I posted a link to your place last week and several people commented on your craftsmanship-so well they ought as its pretty awesome!

Your work is worthy of all the praise in the world and it is simply a joy being your friend. I am so happy for you. Your doll really should make the covers of all the great magazines these days! Yay Kathy and of course I curtsy to the illustrious Lady Pandora.
