Catiana
I sold the original cat doll, Felecia, made from my pattern Madame
LeChat available through Dollmaker's Journey
and Joggles so needed another sample. I had a
vote on my blog to pick the colors, but I really was leaning toward the blue all along.
Her bodice is velvet embellished with black and blue glitter and given to me by a
lovely friend. She bought it in Russia! She is available in my etsy shop. |
 New
Soprana
I loved (and still do!) the original Soprana I made and sold in 2004. I had
modified a pattern by Patti Culea that appeared in Soft Dolls and Animals. I created
this one so I could teach the techniques I used on her - creating our own fabric with
stencils, stamps, paint, paint sticks, crayons, and gold leaf pen, her tail with layering
different fabrics, her fluke with hot glue and gold leafing, and her embellishements.

 Mother Nature
I took a class with Pearl Moon where we did lots of fabric manipulation with mixed
media, fibers, and free-motion stitching. The class didn't include a doll pattern,
so I created one of my own - a stump doll with a polymer clay face - my first! Her
rainbow is angelina fibers. I had sketched her originally and had different ideas
for the embellishments, so I may make her again "from the seeds of my
imagination".

 Hang
Your Imagination doll - Jazz Hands
A clever doll designed by those talented ladies of the 3D Doll Club who sponsored this
year's Day With Dolls in August, 2008. We were given a hangar, a piece of wood,
styrofoam ball and some pieces of trim and fabric. They showed us how to wrap the
armature with batting (I didn't - went right for the fabric!) to flesh it out and bend it
to create a doll. I decided to bead the face and used discarded styrofoam for the
shoes. Lots of fun! |

This doll is the same pattern I used for the witches, only she has a flat face. I
created the pattern specifically for this doll. Her bottom is flat so she sits very
well. She also has a matching chair. Here are Directions for the chair. She is in a good home with
Teri Jones. |
Barefoot Valentines are featured on the cover of the
February/March issue of Soft Dolls and Animals. The pattern is included in the

 Christmas
Swap Napkin Doll
My GSDA doll club picked this free pattern by Judi Ward to use for this year's
swap. She is larger than our usual swap pattern, but fun to make and the first doll
I actually made that stands on her own! Just had to use that pink patent leather I
have had for years for the shoes so she became a Sugar Plum Fairy complete with crown and
wand. She is now residing with Margaret. |
 Christmas Swap Fairy
The other doll club I belong to, the Sew Sew DC, chose my ragdoll swap pattern to use
for their Christmas Swap doll. I made her a dimential face. Guess I am on a
pink kick! Another Sugar Plum Fairy. She is sitting on her own large cup cake. |
