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.

Springtime Fairies





I adore making these fairies...they each have their own personality, and never turn out the same twice! Each one is a labour of love with lots of details which don't show up too well in the photos -their velvet patterned wings, hand-stitched vintage tinsel/ruffles and velvet waistbands, hand-painted eyes and tiny stitched eye-lashes, and shoes adorned with little rusty bells.

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'.
