Milli


Milli is my latest creation and I am really pleased with her. She's turned out so cute!
I've been itching to use this red alpacca fleece for ages, and Milli's colouring was just right.

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.

Pheobe and her cat


Meet Pheobe and her cat.
The cat has just loved sitting in the warm sunshine on Pheobe's lap this morning, and I'm sure I heard him purring earlier!

Pheobe is a larger version of my skinny dolls, at 49cm from her head to her heels. Her dress is made from heavy weight velvety red fabric with aged, folksy ribbon and 2 vintage buttons. Her hair is wonderful ringlets of needle-felted black wensleydale fleece.

'Purrrrrfect', says the cat.

Felix the Scarecat



Here is my latest Felix (the Scarecat). He has rusty coloured, patched trousers and a heavy ticking fabric shirt, which has been aged with coffee, and completed with 2 large rusty bells.
His old label says 'May all thy hours be winged with joy, and thy veggies from crows be blessed free'.

Skinny doll


Just in time for Valentines Day - my latest little doll has a dress with tiny hearts on, and even has a small heart button stitched to her 'Northfield Primitives' tag. She has short needle-felted hair, and has a whistful, dreamy expression.
