Cloth Doll making - Sculpting with Fiber

Creating the face of a doll requires a bit of sculpting before the fabric skin goes on.  He (she?) looks like he has to sneeze!

Coming soon, Elvin

Elvin's alpaca dreads are unbelievably soft!

Handcrafted soft-sculpture doll face

What a fine face this little one has. It goes beautifully with her bright, bouncy hair!

Time flies when you're having fun!

Wow, can you believe it is already the end of April?  Where does the time go...I get older by the minute before I get too far past myself!  I'm working all the time, and sometimes I feel like I'm just getting nowhere.

I'm happy to have my own little world though, where I can get lost in my creativity, bringing my little make-believe dolls to life.  You're never too old for make-believe.  Do you hear me?  It brings me so much joy to be playful, and to come up with new stories for the dolls to share.

I'm so happy with this profile!

Creating jointed limbs for soft sculpture dolls

I'm working on someone new and am pretty happy with how the limbs have turned out.  I've got the joints together just right so she can sit perfectly in any position. 

Yummy, golden hair!

Cosima got her face today...deep brown eyes and a shy mouth, I think red will be her color.

Yak Doll Hair Wig

I have been working on a new design for my dolls.  This wig is made of yak, mohair or wool.  The pictuer above is yak, and it is so wonderful!  You can brush it with a soft bristle brush.  I absolutely love it.  Note, it is not as soft as the mohair weft, but but just as equally beautiful.
