Big Bunny


Sitting, she measures 24 inches from the top of her hat to her bottom.  (Stretched out, Big Bunny measures 31 inches tall from the top of her hat to the tips of her toes. )

She has a rag and poly stuffed body, which makes her feel weighted and bit soft/floppy.  I made her from cotton canvas, painted her with acrylics and stained the doll and clothing with walnut ink.  I embellished her with cotton fabrics, burlap and a little tag and trims.  Her hat is attached to her head.   Her eyes, mouth and body stripes are painted with acrylics.  

Big Bunny is designed and handcrafted by me. Signed and dated. 

This listing is for the finished doll.   (Big Bunny is NOT available as a pattern and it NOT available for copy.)

Santas and Snowmen

 



Santas and Snowmen Dolls

Happy Holidays!   I can't believe it's already November 18th, much less time for the holiday season again!  Yay!   We're settling into our old house.  Still much to do but excited about getting to decorate this year.    I was able to get two Santa and his Gingerbread dolls and two Snowmen made.   I kept a snowman for myself this year :D

Despite the turmoil in life, I hope you find something wonderful in this most magical time of the year.   I pray for you to be happy, healthy and blessed.

I greatly appreciate you following my work ♥♥♥

Santa and his Gingerbread is made from my Santa and his Gingerbread pattern. 

Laying flat, he measures 30 inches tall from the top of his head to the tips of his toes. His Gingerbread is 10 inches tall. He is made from various fabrics. His beard is Flax Fiber. He and his gingerbread are aged with mixture that contains Walnut Ink.

Santa and his Gingerbread are designed and handcrafted by me. Signed and dated. 

(Santa and his Gingerbread are available as a digital pattern)


Snowman (stretched out) measures 29 inches tall from the top of his head to the tips of his toes.  Sitting, he measures 18 inches from the top of his head to his bottom.

He has a rag stuffed bottom and the top is polyfil.  It leaves him feeling weighted and bit soft/floppy.  I made him from cotton canvas, painted him with acrylics and stained the doll and clothing with walnut ink and coffee.  I embellished him with cotton fabrics, burlap and a little tag with a snowflake.   His eyes and mouth are painted with acrylics.  The front of his body reads "In the meadow we can build a snowman".

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

Pumpkin Seed


Pumpkin Seed ~  Handmade Doll

Stretched out, Pumpkin Seed measures 29 inches tall from the top of his stem to the tips of his toes.  Sitting, he measures 21 inches from the top of his stem to his bottom.

I made him from cotton canvas, painted him with acrylics and stained the doll and clothing with tea, walnut ink and coffee.  I embellished him with a natural branch stem, cotton fabrics and burlap.  He is about 50/50 rag and polyfil stuffed.  His nose is a tiny antique shoe button.  His eyes are painted on with acrylics and his mouth/brows are stitched on.
