Thanks to Claire and talking beads for providing them with such pretty names.

Duckpond Market

Well I did it! My first art/craft market! It was a great day, so friendly and some wonderful stalls. I had a bit of a crisis the night before when I realised that no table was provided, but with some creative improvisation I got around not having anything to use (thank you to Mr Roselullabydolls for stopping me from panicking for long enough to think something up!)

I sold 2 dolls and and plenty of postcards, there was also a lot of interest in my portrait dolls, I'm very glad I put together some literature to give to people about them.

I didn't sell a single brooch though, which I was rather disappointed about, but I think I need to look at how I present them, I'm not sure that many people realised what they were, and I was so busy talking to everyone about portraits that I didn't explain them.

I'm really looking forward to next week up in Cambridge, and next month back at Duckpond!

Susan

Meet Susan, I've just listed in my folksy and etsy shops. I'm in love with her beehive! She is called Susan because her hair colour made me think of Susan from 'Neighbours' which will mean nothing if you're American!

Toby the Valentine's doll.

Here's Toby! I'm so pleased with his hair, and his heart. I think he'd be a rather lovely valentine's present, whether given to someone else or yourself! You can buy him on folksy here in £ and on etsy here in $, and he comes with a free hand drawn Valentine's card.

Valentines day

I've just about recovered from Christmas, and now I need to get thinking about valentines day asap! I'm thinking of making some puppet dolls who are cuddling hearts made out of vintage fabric, and some cards out of illustrations of the same.

What do you think?

What would you like me to make for valentines day?

Last custom doll for Christmas

This is a replica of a lovely person on their wedding day, the dress material should be more blue and less purple, but otherwise I'm really pleased with this - its a dress shape I haven't tried on a doll before but I think it works. This is the last of a lot of custom orders I've had for Christmas, just some drawings to do now!

Merry Christmas!

This is Ellie's sister, my first sale on folksy - hopefully the first of many!

Puppet doll portraits

This is Julie Storms brother in law, I had fun creating the wispy hair on top of his head!

This is Erica

These are of Tracilee's Dad and his wife - I'm so pleased with her hair!

These are of lonelystranger with a 'geeky' kind of skirt and her best friend who's favourite colour is blue.

There are more to follow - I've been busy!

Two custom 'puppet portraits'

These are 'puppet portraits' of two little scottish girls who are best friends, such a lovely subject.

Custom doll

This is a puppet portrait of my customer's boyfriend, Jorden. He's been lots of fun to make!

First christmas fairy!

Meet Ellie

Christmas fairies

I'm going to be listing some christmas fairies on thursday, made with some really beautiful vintage lace I found in a local shop.

I think I may have left it a little late for a lot of people - everyone seems to be much more organised than me (who hasn't even though about christmas shopping yet!)

Edwin - from www.roselullabydolls.etsy.com

Edwin likes a good cup of tea, he's also partial to a chocolate biscuit, but he doesn't approve of dunking the latter into the former. you can buy him here.
