Raggydolls

Artoholic was asking what else I'd sewn,
and I found these photos from 2000
when my older daughter was just seven.

These are two rag dolls I made for her.

I had thought back then of making the dolls
as a business, but it took me so much time,
that I decided it wasn't worth it.
Each strand of hair is sewn on individually
so that the hair can be styled and played with.
My daughter used to spend hours
putting clips and bobbles into their hair.
I guess I'll need to make make my littlest girl
her very own dolly some day.
At the moment, she is not much into dolls
so there is no rush!

This doll was her first, it was just named Raggy.

This is Anastasia, and she is a Princess.

  4. You are just so multi-tlaented!

    I know what you're saying about the time consuming bit. If you try and work out an hourly rate for some items for sale you'd just cry.

    At least your daughters will have some beautiful treasures as keepsakes.

    There are some great fabric doll artists in Australia whose work I admire, but it's so fiddly, especilly the fingers and faces. I just don't have the same patience with fabric as I do with paper.

    Wonderful work!
