8 1/2" petite Wooden Queen Anne.........pin cushion..........??...(SOLD)

SOLD

I could not resist!  When the creative juices were flowing this morning I though I had to finish this petite wooden Queen Anne with antique black glass eyes off into a weighted pin cushion.
She is such a sweet little lady.  Her dress is very early faded cotton and she is completely hand stitched by me.  She is hand carved and would love to sit in your sewing room or amongst some doll friends.
I hope you like her as much as I liked making her.  She is now (SOLD).

Beatrice, 14" tall English Wooden Queen Anne doll.................(SOLD)

This hand carved wooden doll started out to be Anne's Daughter.  Anne is the 24" wooden doll that I put on my site a couple of days ago.  She is available if you scroll down you will see her. 
Here is Beatrice, the 14" wooden that I have just finished.  She looks like a young lady.....maybe 12 or 13 years of age.
She is sold but I wanted to show her to you anyway.
I love this little doll and she is going to a lovely lady that loves her too!

Enjoy......

SOLD

I must share the gracious email that I just received from the thrilled lady that purchased Beatrice.
Here it is:
Hello Kathy,
I know that I have already expressed through our phone conversation
how very pleased I am with Beatrice, but I must elaborate on those
feelings now that I have a free moment.
Growing up with a twin brother, and mostly boys to play with, I was
never really interested in dolls. My recent discovery of your Izannah
Walker style dolls and then the English wooden dolls certainly changed
all of that! I knew that some day, I wanted to own one of your
beautiful creations.
When I saw Beatrice's face...I knew she was the one! Seeing her in
person, holding her and feeling the weight of the wood, the exquisite
details of her face, hair and clothing is pure delight. I still can't
get over the perfectly crafted, tiny shoes and stockings!
She truly is a work of art and a joy to behold. Be assured, Beatrice
will be loved and treasured for many years to come.

Warmest regards,
Joan

24" Anne.......the wooden English Queen Anne that I am working on.....(SOLD)

Here are just a few photos of what I have been working on day and night.
She is 24", once she has her legs finished............soon.
Every morsel of her antique silk clothing is hand stitched.  The stitches on the fine ruffles on her neck and sleeves are so tiny you can almost not see them!
Her petticoat is so wonderful that it should not be covered up.  She holds her silk slippers in hopes that she soon has legs and can slip them on!
Anne has such a sweet but shy face and her bonnet is made from 18th century silk lace and embroidered silk from the same period.
Hope you enjoy seeing her so far.....
If you would like more photos or have questions just email me:  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

20" Matilda Walker is finished and (SOLD)...... take a look! Click on any photo twice to see full screen close-ups.

I do not usually name my Izannah Walker reproductions but this one I called Matilda Walker.  She is 20" tall and her 3 pieces of undergarments are antique ones and her claret dress is handmade by me from antique calico cotton from about 1875.
She also has a three tone blue dress, from equally as old calico, that fits her as well so she can be purchased in either dress or both.
She has 5 ringlets across the back of her head and quite worn paint at the front, just as my original antique Izannah has.  The cracks that you see on her face are the same as on my original old Izannah.  I love that worn and loved look!
Matilda is now sold.

Good things to come..............for those who have been waiting!!

As you can see, not much new on my site for a while.
But...............................soon there will be some dolls to look at again.
I have had to take some time to take care of some skin cancer treatments (now finished) and it made it impossible for me to be in my studio and around dust, old fabrics and sawdust.
I am good to get back to work now and my studio has all been painted and remodelled while I was told to keep out of the dust.
Not to sit with idle hands, I have been hand sewing in the house and now have a bunch of Izannah dresses finished for some future Izannahs.................17 to be exact!
If you would like some photos of them or have questions as to what dolls are to be finished and available next, just email me.  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Thanks for your patience and kind emails.
