New dolls....

I made four new dolls for the Cotswold Vintage Fair. Here are two of them. I used my very special vintage fabrics to make their clothes, including fabrics from a vintage quilt, a vintage kimono and a hand made lace cuff. Each doll I make is unique. I can never tell what kind of personality they are going to have until I paint their faces. I struggle to part with them and would secretly like to keep them all, although I never give them names, I'm not sure why. I hope you like them.

How it all began..

Hello there, you can read a post here about how the Shirt Collar Project began and a little bit about how I approached the making of my collar. There are posts on each of the artists involved explaining a bit about their creative process, it makes interesting reading....
