24" Lady Charlotte, Hand Carved Wooden Queen Anne Doll .......................SOLD

I have been working steadily on Lady Elizabeth's sister, Lady Charlotte.
She is 24" tall and fully jointed.  Her clothing is all hand made by me from antique fabrics and all of her clothing is removable.  I am just in the stage of dressing her but thought I would share some photos of her.  Her face is so much nicer than these photos and her patina is wonderful.  Hope you enjoy these few photos of her so far.  If you would like more photos or have questions just email me  babesfromthewoods@gmail.com    SOLD

Enjoy!

11 1/2" English Wooden Queen Anne~~Margie...............SOLD

SOLD

Here is the first doll for 2012!  She was actually started late last year but she got set aside during the holiday festivities.  In between working on some other dolls here I thought I should get her finished some photos on here for you to see.
Meet Margie.  She is 11 1/2" tall and fully dressed in antique silks and has an antique metallic stomacher.  She loves her flat silk hat that matches her dress and her handbag.  She has wonderful tiny silk shoes to match her gown.
Margie has antique black pupiless eyes and a very sweet face with just the perfect amount of aging to her face and the patina is so much nicer than in these photos.  Click on any photo to make it larger.
She is all finished and looking for a home.

Thanks for looking and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I must share the email that I just received from Margie's new owner:

I have a new favorite doll!!! Margie arrived today and I love her. She is such a great size and I love her proportions. I actually love everything about her……the clothes are wonderful. She has such a nice color combination and because the fabric is not patterned the trim and bodice look so nice. Her hat and handbag and shoes…..what can I say….it is love. I also really love her dark eyes and sweet expression. Thank you Kathy for another wonderful doll, maybe the “wonderfulest” (as my grandson Gabe used to say) one yet. I am really, really happy with her.

Here is Lady Margaret.........24" English Wooden Queen Anne style doll...(SOLD)

Lady Margaret is now (SOLD)

SOLD

Lady Margaret is finished and SOLD.   I just LOVE this doll.  Her body is fully jointed.  Her 2pc gown is made of very early fine Linen with the most wonderful Jacobean print that is nicely faded and slightly worn in spots, adding to her charm.  Love her silk slippers......and so does she!
Lady Margaret has a really wonderful face with just the right amount of wear and patina for a doll that looks like she is from 1730 or so. She is totally hand carved from basswood that grows here on our 200 acres.....so yes, she was born in Canada, although she is a pretty good replica of and Early English Wooden Queen Anne style doll.  Her eyes are antique black glass pupiless. Look at those tiny hand stitched ruffles......to die for!

SOLD

I just had to share this lovely email from the lady who bought Lady Margaret!

Kathy, When I finally ordered Lady Margret from you, I told you I took her picture off your website as my screen saver on my phone for a month. I looked at her every time I picked it up because I thought she was truly the most beautiful doll I had ever seen. I didn't act then because I really only ever buy antique dolls, never reproduction artist dolls, but your dolls are different and I have to say your are not just a "doll" artist you are a true Artisan from the heart taking form and shape to a new over the top level....I received "Lady Margaret" today and I am Blown away! The pictures were fabulous but couldn't do the justice to the life that you gave her! From her incredibly detailed silk cap with the antique lace, her lovely polished cotton day dress to her tiny little silk slippers I couldn't fathom all the tiny hand stitching! I fell even more in love than I thought I already was!! With confidence of all the dolls I have owned she is truly my favorite doll and I am most proud! Thank you so much and your right she will need a sister! Also I saw your doll featured in August 2011 Early American Life magazine, way to go!
