Leni - a real summer girl

I'm happy to introduce Leni (she's called Elena but after cutting her hair for summer she told me she wants to be called Leni). She's been on the back burner for a while as I wasn't sure about what hair she would like. So I asked my daughter and this is the result!





Leni insists that it's too hot for clothes so she'll stay on a bit until I can convince her ;) Stay tuned...

Wish List

There have been a few requests for custom dolls and I've been thinking about how I would like to work in the future a lot.

As I'm not making a doll a week it's difficult for me to find a good time frame. I love to work on my dolls when I truly want to and not because I feel under pressure to meet a deadline. 

So I felt I will be starting a Wish List. People who would like to own a specific doll from me can be added to this list. Whenever I have the time I will just contact the first person on the list and see if they are still interested (as some time might have gone by since they were added) and talk about the details. When we agree to work together this will turn into a custom doll with a non refundable deposit and half the price due immediately so I can start working and the rest on completion of the doll ;) 
So if you're interested to be on this wish list, please comment on the post on my facebook page or send me pm on facebook...

Efraimsdotter


This is Efraimsdotter, she's a waldorf inspired doll and measures about 15 inches. Her body and arms are made from soft cotton velour, the legs and head from Swiss Cotton Jersey.
Her hair is meant to by styled in braids. It consists of different wool and cotton yarn attached to a mohair crochet cap.
Like all my dolls she's stuffed with clean carded wool, the eyes and mouth are embroidered with cotton thread, the cheeks blushed with wax crayon. She has freckles
painted on with a Kajal pencil. They and the cheeks can be refreshed when they become paler.
She wears stockings attached to her body with bottoms and handknit boots.
These dolls are collectables and not intended for small children or rough play due to long fibres and small parts.

Krusmynta

Some people might wonder what I've been working on lately... The answer is 5 fun, adventurous girls... one of them refused the longer hair and braids and decided to stay here to fill the space left when swap doll Pippilotta left.
She brings a smile to my face whenever I see her.

 The other four are up to lots of mischief while waiting for some accessories that I hope to finish by next week. They are a fun crowd but 5 of them are definitely more than one household can handle ;) And they long for a home where they can explore and find new friends to see the world with... For the photoshoot there were 3 "available". They insisted the 4th would come anytime now... no idea what she was up to!
