I've been making things ever since my grandmother taught me to sew at the age of three. Now, 21 years later, I believe I have found my true niche, in doll making. I am able to combine my loves of sewing, sculpting, painting, fashion and history into one creation. In this blog I will be documenting my creative process and my dolls. I hope that you enjoy!
Here's what I'm working on now:
This is Magritte. She is awaiting her body, which I am still working on.
This is a sneak peek of Eliza. She's got some rather bright little shoes and an underskirt sprinkled with tiny stars, and she comes with one of her mother's best Delft teacups (it's hiding there beside her hand. See it?)
This is Delphine. She was actually my first doll of this style. She wears a dress of light blue brocade, with a blue ribbon and an antique shell button at her waist. She has a 2-layered ruffled underskirt and carries her favorite doll everywhere she goes.
This is Georgiana. She's still awaiting her very own dress, which is going to be gorgeous. Her hairdo isn't very visible in the picture, but it's quite unique. She's got a twist across the top, and a bun in back.
I'm hoping to have Magritte and Georgiana completed within the week, along with at least two more so that I can put them on my Etsy shop! The best part? The husband loves them!
I learned to sew from my grandmother too. Here's the first post on my blog http://daintytime.net, dedicated to both of my grandmothers: Grandma's Everyday Mandala (One of them was named Georgia.)
