Lady Eliza Higgs, 13 1/2" Wooden Doll.................SOLD

SOLD
I have just put these new photos of Lady Eliza Higgs on my site.  She is 13 1/2" tall and SOLD.
I had some photos of her here when I had her mate, Lord Harry Higgs available.  When he sold I forgot to add photos of Eliza showing that she is available.  I LOVE this doll.  Her patina is wonderful and she is dressed in very early silk.  Her head swivels and if you scroll down to the last photo you will see her head laying in my hand so you can see the wooden peg that inserts into her torso and allows her head to turn and pose her nicely.  My old William Higgs doll was made this same way and I have copied the torso and head from my original 1680's wooden doll.
Her body is wonderful!
If you would like more photos or have questions, just email me:

17 1/2" Camilla, hand carved Queen Anne style doll...............SOLD

I am again posting a lot of photos of this doll so you can see her through her journey of being made, at least being dressed!
This is 17 1/2" Camilla.  She has such a beautiful face and great patina and I hope you can see this well in the photos I am posting. She is fully jointed at the hips and knees and is jointed at the elbows as well with Linen and she has wooden upper arms. Dear Camilla is dressed in the most amazing 1700's hand embroidered silk jacket that I made for her.  I hope you can see all the tiny stitching.  He lace up corset is form fitting and exquisite for her outfit.  The Silk that I used for her skirt is nothing short of wonderful.  She also has a very full, hand stitched petticoat that ties at the waist.  Her cap and slevelettes and lace at her neck are made from very early silk lace that dates about 1750.  Her cap is stitched on but all other clothing is removable.  I have put a couple stitches in the back of her skirt but they can be removed if you wish to take her clothing off or perhaps make her more clothing.  Camilla's long apron has the most wonderful hand stitched, white on white crewel work on the bottom of it and every stitch on the apron and ties are all hand done.  Her pocket of course matches her jacket and is the last morsel of that amazing hand embroidered silk that I had left.  If you would like more photos of Camilla or if you have any questions, just email me:  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Enjoy!
Camilla is SOLD.
