Redressed!

Recently I was commissioned to redress a 

family of dollhouse dolls.  

Here is the before picture.

And here is the after.

The customer is quite pleased with how 

they turned out and the dolls will now 

fit into the decor of her lovely Victorian dollhouse. 

If she sends photos of them in the house, 

I will gladly share them here.

I've come a long way . . .

Today I want to share with you a couple of pictures

 of dolls I have made and/or costumed. 

This first set was made circa 1991, I think.   

At that time our daughter would watch the TV series 

David the Gnome every day while eating her lunch 

before going off to kindergarten.  

David and Lisa were a big part of her world 

so I made these dolls for her.

I am happy to report these 2 rustic clothespin 

creations are still on display in her home. 

Last week I shipped off two 1:12 scale dolls that 

I re-costumed on commission.

The gentleman was to be based on 

Nels Oleson from the Little House series.  

I think they turned out very well, and most importantly, 

the collector was pleased.  

It was a fun change from the mice and bears 

and all I kept thinking was how very 

LARGE 

these dolls were at just about 

twice the size of my mice.  

My worktable is quite full of more 

commissions this week, but I hope to have 

two new mice to show you in a few days.  

They will be a tea party set: 

a Lady Mouse with her teapot 

and matching potbelly baby mouse 

in the tiny matching teacup.
