The girl without a face.

I have a small card box. In the box are lots of tiny linen limbs. Half finished months, maybe years ago. Ignored for too long. Inspired by lots of pretty dolls I have seen lately. I have finally pieced them together to make a whole little person. I am too scared to take the final leap and give her a face.

Embroidered shoes

This little gang should have gone in the last post but discovered too late and well worthy of a post all their own here they are. Made by mixed media artist Cathy Cullis of November Moon. Could they be a school teacher and class on an outing? Knitted hair and embroidered shoes are but a couple of the beautiful handmade details on these lovely dolls. Find out more about Cathy and her other work over at the November Moon blog here.

Tiny

once there was a jewelry box and inside that jewelry box there was a trinket box and inside the trinket box was a tiny porcelain doll that I had forgotten all about.

Making me smile today (as I fend off a cold that has attacked various parts of my head) are these cute accessories which come with the first limited edition, build it yourself art doll kit by The small object. I just adore this site run by Sarah Neuburger, it is a magical place go see, and read everything there, it's delightful.

Sarah Young and the Russion doll.

Been catching up with designsponge today, where I read about these gorgeous folk style fabric kits. Designed by Sarah young they are available as Bertha the Russian doll or Marmaduke the cat. The muted Autumn colours are lovely.

Whilst roaming around looking at all the spectacular things the multi talented sarah makes, I was particularly moved by the details on the dolls. I think mum, you'll love the charleston lady, and my favorite is the bird lady (below).
