Liddy Ninroot

Meet Liddy Ninroot, a lovely doll designed by Kim at Veena's Mercantile in the US. I just adore these dolls - they remind me of images from the 16th/17th century and have an almost puritan feel about them, a simple, primitive charm. They are made from cotton and have needle sculpted faces, which are handpainted and stained. I have made them in two sizes to compliment a castle or country cottage...

Lilith


Lilith #Assyrian ' of the night'

Lilith is simple stunning - she is a large doll with button jointed arms. She looks longingly at the sky for the first sight of the new moon...her wired, velvet wings ache to carry her into the cool night air.

She was definately miffed with me for making her pose for photos in the evening sunshine!


Lilith is made from painted and aged osnaburg. The delicate shading around her face make her a stunning doll.
