An Introduction...

Welcome to my new blogspot...and to start, a little about my journey here...

I have a background in costume design and I have been making dolls for many years. My recent creations have been cloth dolls inspired by antique dolls and my family history (another of my favourite pastimes). I also love creating anything with fabric and I'm enjoying experimenting with different styles and designing unique items.

In this blog I will share doll info, tips and tricks that I have learnt over the years and also pics and even a few patterns, so please check back often to see what's new....

Here's where it all began...

This beautiful doll was a gift from my hubby and the first china head in my collection. She is an antique 1900's German Lowbrow with original limbs, but a reproduction body and gown.

Since receiving her, my collection has grown rapidly with an eclectic mix of old and new, all types and styles, and mostly just heads as I like the creativity in making new bodies and clothes.
