Working away here................

 I'm trying to get my orders caught up as I had to take time for a move and huge renovation in late August.    If you are waiting on a doll, I'm working on it, if you are wishing to order a doll do contact me babesfromthewoods@gmail.com 

I do have some dolls in the works that are not spoken for as of yet.  They were started back before my move when all I could do was carve until the movers arrived!

Also do look me up on Facebook as I often post more photos there lately as I can do it on my phone.  I only use Facebook for dolls and you can look up Kathy Patterson  and friend me.

Keep safe

Read below...........

 

To all of you who have been on this Izannah Walker journey with me and have followed my progress and purchased my dolls, I humbly thank you. 

I made the decision a while ago to let go of the “Izannah Walker Doll” part of my doll making business.  My heart truly is in making English Wooden Queen Anne style dolls so that will be my main focus now.  For several years now I have made Izannah Walker dolls and loved every moment of the sewing, painting and making those 1850’s little dresses! 

I think I have a achieved what I set out to do, and that was to be able to make Izannah Walker dolls that looked like Izannah’s dolls.  I went to the very expensive task of making molds off of 3 of the 6 antique Izannah Walker original dolls that I sought out, purchased and studied.  Just to be able to hold the originals and study how they were made and feel the history in my hands gave me all the inspiration I needed to make Izannah Walker dolls.  The journey has been wonderful and fulfilling and a great creative challenge for me.  For this, I thank Izannah Walker for showing the world her amazing talent in the field of early doll making through her portrait dolls. 

I will be disclosing in a week or so the person that is taking over my molds, patterns, and tips.  She is as equally excited to be making these dolls with my original molds as I was when I made my First Izannah Walker doll.  I will be happy to share this info and a link to her site just the moment she lets me know I can share the secret!!

If you have questions or would like more photos of my “LAST” Izannah Walker Doll just email me: toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

She is SOLD

SHE HAS NOW FOUND A HOME

19 1/2" Izannah Walker doll with ringlets............................SOLD

I will be adding more photos as soon as I can but I just wanted to share some photos of my latest 19 1/2" Izannah Walker doll that is finished and SOLD.
She is a bare foot Izannah with handmade socks and shoes.  She also has amazing antique undergarments that consist of bloomers, petticoat and a darling chemise, all made from hand stitched very early pieces from the England.
Her dress is amazing and again made from early calico from about 1850-1860.  It is faded brown and faded reddish pink.  I also made her a calico bonnet that co-ordinates with her dress.  I do not care for bonnets on Izannah dolls but they are wonderful to display with them.
Enjoy these photos for now and as soon as the sun goes down I will take some more.  If you have any questions or would like more photos before I can get them on here just email me:  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Thanks for dropping by!
Kathy

SOLD

This Izannah has really wonderful ringlets!!

7 of them, 5 across the back and one on each side of her head in front of her ears.

Ignore the shine on her head, that is my flash.  She has a wonderful warm patina.

Here are some "in the making" photos so you can see her wonderful undies!

................and of course her dress.  Love the antique fabric, ignore the messy work area!

SOLD

I just have to share the lovely email that I just received from the lady who bought this Izannah!

Joy oh joy, there’s great excitement here with the arrival of Izannah ‘three’ whom i have named Charlotte. Kathy, she is so lovely, her dear little face has the sweetest expression... oh my, and her clothing is perfect in every way, simple adorable.. i love the fabric and i love how her sweet chemise can be exposed over her shoulders.  Oh her sweet little socks & shoes, there’s so much loveliness, i just can’t put her down, there’s so much to take in, i don’t want to miss a thing lol. Thank you also for the fabric scraps, which i will include in the quilt i plan to make for her.

I thought you’d like to see a photo of the three Izannah sisters. I’ve placed Charlotte, on the cane chair in my bedroom, with her sisters.. i’m so pleased they fit together so snugly.  Charlotte’s a little taller than her sisters and she looks just right in the middle, don’t you think?  

I love that they all look similar, but with very individual facial expression. They are lovely beyond words, Kathy, and i truly appreciate the love and care you put into creating each of these unique dolls... i love and treasure my Izannah dolls!!

Thank you so much,

 

Meet 22" Myrtle..........................SOLD

This doll has attitude!
Myrtle is 22" tall and is wearing her wonderful Antique turkey red dress along with her Antique shoes and hand knit antique socks.  She must have spotted these accessories in my studio when I was out.  Now she thinks they are hers and so be it.
She is now SOLD.
Her Friend Maud is SOLD.
It set out as a personal challenge for me to try making these Early American Cloth dolls.  Now I can say that I did it.  My heart is in carving Queen Anne dolls and making Izannah Walker dolls and that is what I shall do!
Enjoy!

Myrtle, on the right, is SOLD

 

21" Maud, an Early American Cloth Doll................SOLD

This is Maud, she is Sadie's sister and measures 21".  Maud's head is so charming and worn looking and she has a sweetness about her. 
She is all dressed in early antique faded calico from the 1850's.  She is tattered and aged could fool anyone walking into a room and seeing her perched in an antique chair.  Her antique leather arms are nothing short of fabulous!  These dolls are so charming and interesting to me.  I just had to try to make a couple.  Sadie was snapped up in minutes so if you have any interest in Maud just email me and I can send you some more photos if you like.
She is now SOLD.
toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

SOLD

I hope you enjoyed seeing Maud.

She truly is charming and so much nicer in person than in these photos!

She is SOLD.
