Mr. Snowfield

Mr. Snowfield measures 17 inches tall from the top of his hat to the bottom of his base. He is made from quilting cotton ticking and cotton flannel. His base is solid wood. He is embellished with trinkets and treasures which include preserved sweet annie, clove and cinnamon. I stamped his little tag to read SNOW.

Annie Loo Boo


Introducing Annie Loo Boo!

She's a little witch who dresses for Halloween year'round as her favorite animal familiar :)

She measures 17 inches tall from the top of her hat to the bottom of her base.  She is made of fabric and attached to a solid wood base.  I made her mask from air dry clay and her hair if flax fiber.  She is stained with walnut ink.  I painted her eyes with acrylics.

I have made two handmade dolls and her pattern is available in my Etsy shop.

Ingrid

Ingrid measures 32 inches tall from the top of her pointy hat to the tips of her toes. 
She is made from cotton canvas, painted with acrylic chalk paints and stained with coffee.   I needle felted flax fiber as her hair.  I made her dress from a very old linen tablecloth.  (I know the history of the linen:   It belonged to a family here in Tennessee.  The woman who had it died in her 80's and that was 20 years ago.  She was a librarian.  The tablecloth belonged to her mother.  Though it doesn't show on Ingrid's dress, the table cloth has an M or W embroidered on it.  This worked out well because the mother's maiden name started with a W and she married a man whose last name started with an M....that's how old this tablecloth is.   I hated to cut it but it's too old and fragile to use as a tablecloth due to washing so I decided to  use it as dresses for dolls where they won't be washed and can continue on).  Ingrid's little tag reads Witch on one side and Ingrid on the other. 

Ingrid is designed and handcrafted by me. Signed and dated.
