In my continuing mission to find space where there isn't much to start with, I am selling three more dolls.
And before I start telling you about the dolls I am going to have to part with, let me say this: I am really sorry if the doll you wanted is sold before you get a chance to buy it. The last time that I put two of my dolls up for sale, they sold really quite quickly and I received some e-mails from some very sad people who missed out. No, I won't be making any more. These are orginal dolls and there will be no more once these dolls find their new homes. So the lesson here is - if you want one of the these dolls please move quickly or all I'll be able to do is send you a sad e-mail apology that you missed out.
First up for sale is Loiseau.
You may recognise this doll from Patti Medaris Culea's book Creative Cloth Doll Beading.
What you didn't see in the pages of the book is the back view of this doll.
I can't even begin to articulate how long all this beading took to do. With the wings beaded front and back and with a beaded tail, plus a beaded corset and cuffs I cringe to think of how many hours of work this doll represents. Patti herself once asked me how long the beading took and I couldn't bring myself to estimate.
But I think she was worth it.
There just isn't space in my home for Loiseau - is there space in yours? If so, visit my Etsy shop to find out more about giving Loiseau a safe new home to nest.
Also looking for a new place to roost, is the Soul Whisperer.
The Soul Whisperer remains one of my more popular original designs.
She really seems to speak to people. This doll is now sold.
If like me, you don't have whole heck of a lot of room then this beaded face, based on Annie Hesse's design from Creative Cloth Doll Beading might be the way to own a bit of handmade beauty.
Again, each bead was hand sewn into this fun face design. This doll is now sold.
There isn't space in my home for these dolls - is there space in yours?
