24" Sara, A Huge Hand Carved, Fully Jointed Wooden Queen Anne Doll......................SOLD

I am so pleased to share photos of Sara with you today.  I have taken some "in the works" photos of her so you can see her body and undies.  She is a most impressive size, 24" tall.  She stands and sits well.  She is a very large doll for sure.  Her head is about the size of an orange.  I have posted lots of photos of her in hopes that you can see her wonderful patina etc.  Sara has beautiful antique black glass eyes and tiny dotted eyebrows.  Her arms are cloth jointed at the elbows and she has upper wooden arms.  You will see a photo of her hip area and fully jointed legs as well.
She is dressed in Antique fabrics for her gown, petticoat and silk shoes.  I love her shabby antique ribbon at her neck but if you do not, she can have some beads to replace it.  The lace that I used for her cap is early 18th century and so wonderful!
I hope you enjoy seeing Sara.  If you have any questions or would like more photos of her just let me know.  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

24" Lord Leopold, ready to meet his Lady!...........................SOLD

A TRUE FAIRY TALE!
As promised I am posting the union of Lord Leopold and Lady Elizabeth................
As written buy their owner.

" It was LOVE at first sight. Lady Elizabeth took one look at Lord Leopold. She  knew then that they would spend the rest of their lives together. Although neither spoke a word, they shared that same thought.
The handsome guest was invited to tea, but he would stay forever."

Dear Kathy,
He arrived at 7:26 p.m. In time for tea.
LE and I are both in love. LL is perfection. You were right he is much better in person. He is dressed impeccably. Such fine fabric could only come from the best producers in the world.
Again thank you for making this wonderful doll for me. I am already thinking about children. They will have to wait awhile. I don't want anyone to think that LE is a
fast woman.
Meanwhile, I will enjoy them both tremendously.
Have a great day,


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This doll was a custom order for a very patient lady.  All of his clothing is removable and lined as requested.  I just had to share some photos of him with you so you could see how much detail went into this doll.  This week he will meet his Lady Elizabeth friend that I made a couple years ago.  I am promised a photo of the two of them together and I shall share that photo as well.
Enjoy!

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.

15 1/2" Elena is now finished..................SOLD

I have been working for a few days on Elena's clothing.  She is Eugenia's younger sister but about the same height.
She is now finished and SOLD.  Elena is fully jointed and sits or stands well.  Her gown is silk and is not nearly as dark as the photos towards the bottom of this post.  She has such a sweet face.  She looks much younger than her sister.  She has silk leading strings on the back of her gown.  Her petticoat is very fine and full and she has a bum roll that makes her gown stand out nice and full.  Her gown is a bit longer in the back and slightly trails behind her.
I have just added a few photos of her lovely face.  Her patina looks so old and wonderful I just had to share. 
If you have any interest or questions just email me:

You must take a look at Eugenia and Elena in their new home:

15" Eugenia, Hand Carved Fully Jointed Wooden Queen Anne Doll.................SOLD

Here are some quick photos of Eugenia.  She is 15" tall, fully jointed and has antique glass eyes.
She is dressed in Antique silk and early tarnished metallic trims.  The shades in her gown are very muted and soft and not as yellowish as these photos look.  The silk is more light beige, cream and a faded soft green.  She has quite an old look and some attitude!  Eugenia's patina is much nicer in person.
