10" Prudence, hand carved Queen Anne doll.................in the works!..........SOLD

I just have to share some photos of this little Prudence Queen Anne doll.  I was inspired by some photos of an old Queen Anne doll that I love.  She is a bit fierce looking but in a gentle way.  Small but mighty!  She has beautiful detailed hands  and is totally hand carved by me.  She is dressed in amazing early embroidered silks and wonderful old metallic trim with natural patina.  Every stitch on her cap is hand done and such tiny stitches they are.
Follow her progress............................
I will post more photos later.
She is SOLD.
Enjoy!

17" Mae, my latest Queen Anne.........................................SOLD

17" Mae is fully jointed and all hand carved from Basswood.  She has Antique black glass eyes and wonderful patina.  Her face and body have a light flesh tone.  She is fully dressed in very early fabrics right down to her silk shoes.  The colour of her dress is a very faded Madder colour and not nearly as bright as it looks in these photos.  I have posted quite a few photos of her so you can see all the very simple detail to this doll.  She is even nicer in person. 
If you have questions or would like more photos just email me: toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Mae is SOLD.
Enjoy!

Hmm........should have tidied up my studio!

16" Georgia, Hand Carved Wooden Queen Anne Doll............SOLD

I am pleased to show you this 16" fully jointed wooden doll that I have just finished.  I often get asked if I would make a doll, like the very large wooden Queen Anne dolls that I make, but smaller.  Here she is!  This doll is only 16" tall but has all the detail of the larger dolls that I love to make.
I have posted several photos here for you to see Georgia.

If you would like more photos, or have questions, just email me:  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

 I will share the lovely email that I received from the lucky lady who received Georgia today:
Oh Kathy, to say I am thrilled would be to put it mildly. She is exquisite in every way, perfection. Her eyes seem to hold the secrets of the ages . She looks like she has been in this world a long, long time. The clothes and shoes are  magnificent , but then I would expect nothing else from you ! She is another treasure I will cherish and thank you for being the great person that you are !  

24" Lady Elizabeth, Hand carved English Queen Anne and her Trousseau...............SOLD

I finally have Lady Elizabeth finished and she has tried on all of her clothing and all that comes with her in her Antique Box.  If you scroll down you will see the trousseau, but I have yet added more since then.
I will be posting her and her finery right now.
She is 24" tall and outstanding!
She has been months in the making and I must say, I have outdone myself!!
There are a lot of photos so do scroll down.
At the end of this post I will list all the items that she comes with as well.
If you would like more photos of anything or have questions feel free to email me.  This doll is my pride and joy!
