~ New Art Dolls & A New Shop! ~

I have been incredibly disciplined this week and managed to remove myself form the laptop, and made three dolls!
The first two are commissioned, & the last one called Mia is looking for a new home via Etsy She is the last of the winter Bohemian/Bo-ho Chic range!
Kathy has named her doll kendal, which I think suits her very well.  Kathy knew exactly what she wanted her doll to wear, and I enjoyed the challange to 'get it right'.  I also discovered I love making miniature things, & this paint palette & brush was no exception.  Kathy also wanted a Black Labrador..

Christine wanted a doll similar to Snowflake - it's impossible for me to recreate a doll, but I think I encapsulated some of the features.
Christine, the new owner of this doll, has a cute little pup called Bonny - I think this Whimzy pet takes the part.

These boots were inspired by the amazing Colleen of  A Dollmaking Journey... she made the cutest pair for her doll Truffle... Colleen made hers from leather and clay - mine are made just from clay, stamped and painted to look like leather.. I prefer Colleen's so will try using real leather next time!  Thanks Colleen for the inspiration!
