23" Fanny, A Wonderful Fully Jointed Queen Anne....in the making and now finished...........SOLD

I am sharing a LOT of photos with you today.  I could not be more pleased with 23" Fanny.  She is fully jointed and all of her clothing is totally hand stitched and removable.  Every piece is made with very early 1700's and early 1800's silks and cottons......right down to the thread that I used to hand sew these things for her.  The quilted silk petticoat with the and embroidered hem is to die for!!!  Her pocket matches as well.  Fanny's hips and knees are fully jointed wood and she sits and stands well.  Her arms are jointed and the elbow with linen and she has upper wooden arms as well.


Keep scrolling down.  There are at least 20 photos of Fanny and her finery and showing her getting dressed.........I have added more photos of her since my first post this afternoon.  She is now all dressed and has found a good home.

 Still does not have her sparse hair on yet...........

 Every stitch on this cap is hand stitching......

 Fanny's stomacher

 ..............and her silk hand embroidered pocket

 Silk shoes of course!

 Every stitch on this silk quilted petticoat is done by hand, including the embroidery.  This piece is from the 1700's and just to die for!!

 Petal bottom silk embroidered jacket that is fully lined and of course all hand stitched.

SOLD

 Long sleeve chemise and petticoat for under her quilted silk petticoat/skirt

SOLD

I had a few people email me today and say how they enjoyed the photos so casually taken in my studio, even with all the mess and the iron and ironing board showing so I will post photos of her all dressed now..........on the ironing board! 

Fanny really is so much more wonderful in person.  I just can't tell you how pleased I am at the way she turned out right down to her silk shoes.

Enjoy!

 

No need to write more as the photos speak for themselves.

23" Christine has found a wonderful home!......................SOLD

I am pleased to introduce you to Christine.  She is 23" tall and fully jointed.  Christine looks like she was found in an attic.  She has that nice old patina on her face, hands and body.  Her eyes are antique black glass pupiless eyes and her hair is some really old hair from an early doll that I repurposed for her.  Her long jacket is made from very early block printed cotton that is amazing.  Her hand quilted petticoat is a very good match to the faded blue in her jacket but I was having trouble getting good photos.  She has silk shoes and a cloth flat hat to match her jacket and lace up corset/bodice.  Her clothes, other than her chemise are all removable.  She also has removable tie on sleeveletts to complete her look.  Her cap is very early hand made lace that I made into a cap for her and it removes as well.   She also has an extra petticoat that is all hand stitched and wonderful!  She would be a great doll if you like to sew and wanted to make a trousseau for her.  She stands and sits well and loves to be spoiled with clothing!
Enjoy.
Christine is SOLD.

17" Annie, Fully Jointed Wooden Queen Anne Doll...............SOLD

Meet Annie.  She is 17" tall and fully jointed.  She is dressed in a really great antique block printed linen from England.  I tried to capture the colour of her dress but the flash is giving me grief.  The fabric is a creamy beige and a faded coral/reddish colour.  So much nicer in person and more faded. 
Annie has antique black glass eyes and her patina is really very believable.  She has the very tiny dotted eyebrows, typical of these 1780-1790's dolls. 
ANNIE IS NOW SOLD.

Handcarved Wooden Queen Anne doll, 9 1/2" Ella...................SOLD

Here is 9 1/2” Ella.  I could not wait to show you my first completed doll of 2014!  She is so sweet.  Her eyes are antique black pupiless glass eyes.  She is hand carved from basswood and dressed in 18th Century hand painted silk that is to die for!  I had been coveting this piece for several years and it suits Ella just perfectly I think.

Her patina is really wonderful and I hope you can see it well in the photos below.  She has beautiful, delicate hands that I carved for her. 

I hope you love her.  Ella is SOLD. If you would like more photos or have any questions, just email me: toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

Thanks for looking.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year To All!!

I would like to take a moment to wish all of my faithful followers a Very Happy New Year.  I would also like to thank so many people for all of their support and encouragement over the last year since the devastating fire that we had here.  It has been a really difficult year here and no one will be happier to say good bye to 2013 than us. 
Here is to hoping that 2014 is a great year for everyone!
Happy New Year and a Sincere Thank you!
Kathy

Above is my studio as it looks now, at least before the 3 feet of snow that we have today!
Below is my husband's new building.  You will see that our buildings are no longer attached like they used to be prior to the fire.
We have a new kind of normal here now.

9" Baby Liz, Hand Carved Wooden Queen Anne Style Doll...................SOLD

Baby Liz is 9" long plus her long gown.  She is jointed at the hips and has linen upper arms and beautifully carved little fingers.  Liz has antique glass eyes and really wonderful patina which I hope you can see in these photos.  She sits well.  Her gown is made from antique Ayrshire cotton lace that came from the UK.  Her little bonnet is darling too.
She is just the right size for the some of the larger ladies that I have made to hold on their lap.  She also looks wonderful in a small antique cradle on her own.
Enjoy.
