Tilda

This is Tilda, she was named by Christell, one of my Facebook 'fans' (I do so dislike calling people that, but that is what facebook decrees them to be...Facebook followers, contacts, acquaintances, those are terms I much prefer...) I got so many brilliant suggestions for her name via facebook and twitter. It was REALLY hard to choose which to go for, I need to try and work out how to have a vote on here, so next time I can put up all the suggestions and you guys can vote for your favourite.

Anyway, I hope you like Tilda, I have a few more dolls lined up to list over the next few days, then we're away for Easter, and I have a show going up the week after (Pirates of Penzance at Wilton's Music Hall) so things may go a little quiet, but then I'll be back.

 I'm planning on trying to list an item a day throughout April. So I'll be making a number of smaller items and creatures to keep my puppet dolls company.

Black Haired Betty

I've just listed Betty on Etsy and Folksy. I really love her hair, and I'm so pleased with the photographs I've got of her, they really seem to capture her well - very thoughtful.

Today's listings

Daisy, the newest in my Liberty dolls collection is now available on Etsy and Folksy.

And Eleanor, who's development you've seen on this blog is now on Etsy and Folksy!

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

The bunnies have a new eggy friend!

Easter Bunnies!

Available on Folksy and Etsy now! More coming soon in other gorgeous Liberty's fabrics. I love Liberty fabrics!

and now she has hair and a mouth too!

She still needs a name, so if you have any ideas then do let me know!

She's getting there....

She still needs hair and a mouth, but she's getting there!

Work in progress.

I've been playing around with lots of new ideas recently, and this is one of the results of that. She's very much a work in progress as you can see. I haven't even given her any skin yet, this is just her basic shape constructed from masking tape and bamboo. I think this style of doll could make lovely christmas angels (yes I'm thinking about Christmas already!) This young lady isn't going to be an angel though, I shall post some more pictures of her as she develops in the next few days. Do please tell me what you think about this new style of doll by leaving a comment below!

and the winner is..................

Congratulations!
