work in progress

Transforming a vintage china doll at the moment.This is the 'before' and 'in progress' dolls at the top. I am changing her hair, make up and dress. Her eyes will be quite heavily made up, like a little dolly ghost... Am also planning to make a miniature vintage book for her to read. I have been reading a lot of Emily Bronte's life lately and it is playing in my mind...

Blue doll has been transformed and here is my first male doll: Punky Stick Boy. Quite fond of him. Perfect little stick arms he's got.

Scotland and the sea

My doll with scottish inspiration for Anne who lives in Edinburgh is finished. She wears a vintage piece of tartan fabric found on ebay, real baby starfish found in Brittany and shells in her hair. She's very red which is unusual for me, less cream than usual! Really enjoyed making her little shoes. Embroidered on her dress are the names of some scottish islands.

One of my creations...

Me with the she-devil who often prevents me from crafting! She looks quite naughty there, but really shes (mostly) an angel.
