22" Sophie is now finished.......and SOLD

SOLD

Sophie measures just under 22" tall. Big lady!

Her eyes are antique black pupiless glass. Her tiny smile suggests she knows something!!

She is fully joined and hand carved from basswood. Her dress is silk and her petticoat is antique hand embroidered cotton. Her slippers.........silk of course. She stands or sits well.

I just finished Sophie tonight and have a lot of photos of her being made but I just put a couple on for you to see her. She is so much nicer in person than in these photos. I am working on that.

If you have questions or would like to see more just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

As promised................Victoria!

SOLD

Finally, Victoria is completed.

She measures 20" tall and is fully jointed. She is dressed in silk and and has Antique cotton petticoat and silk slippers. The lace on her cap is very very old and really suits her. These photos do not really do her justice, but she is really quite something in person.

She missed the trip to Atlanta, she really did want to attend the UFDC, but could not figure out what to wear! Now she needs a home.

If you would like more photos or have questions, just email me at toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

Happy Weekend!

Here is lovely Julia....

SOLD

Her is Julia........just over 19" tall and dressed in antique French linen. She has a blue striped underskirt and the same lining in her bodice sleeves.

She is one of the more fine featured Queen Anne style dolls from the first quarter of the 18th century. I love making these dolls. Being a detail person, I love the features of her face and the tiny dotted eyes and eyebrows. Her eyes are antique black pupiless glass eyes. Click on any photo to see her full screen.

Happy 4th of July!

Stella is finished now....

SOLD

Stella has been consuming a lot of time over the past 5 days...........but here she is.

At 20 1/2" she is a very big Higgs type from the 1680's.

I am working on a new doll and hope to post some photos later today or tomorrow. If you would like more info, just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

As promised..........Lady Anne.....finished photos

SOLD

Here is the delightful Lady Anne.

She measures about 22" tall. She is totally carved of basswood and is similar to a doll that was carved in the mid 1700's. She has huge black pupiless glass eyes that are antique. The dotted eyebrows and eyes lids are just as the old ones were done. Click on any photo to see a full screen photo up close.

Her tiny hand bag is made of silk velvet and she has a secret key for something?? It just seemed fitting. Her dress is silk and her underclothes are made of antique parts from a petticoat. She has wonderful detail and ageing to her face and body.

I made her little silk slippers just for her to match her dress.

I have a lot of photos of Lady Anne so if you would like to see more, just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

She is now available for sale. She is my pride and joy so if you are interested in purchasing Lady Anne please let me know.

Attie is finished.....

I have just listed Attie on Ebay with more photos of her # 270414231067 she is on a buy-it-now if you are interested take a look. SOLD

I made Attie a while back when I made Millie. Attie just never got clothes until now.

She is 16 1/2" tall and fully jointed. Her clothes are made by me of Antique cotton fabrics that I have been saving for just the right doll. Attie has a more casual look than some of the big woodens I have been carving lately.

Attie's eyes are antique glass eyes that are pupiless black, just as her 300 year old sisters had.

She has a wee pocket that is removable and her bodice laces up the back and could be removed if you wanted to un-lace it. She has an antique cotton Petticoat that I made from an old petticoat. Her Mop/cap is stitched on.

If you have questions or would like to see more photos of Attie, just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
