Yesterday I finished Alistair. He is the third member of the trio of dolls from the book- “The Hidden House” by Martin Waddell and illustrated by Angela Barrett. More pictures- here. The album they are in also contains pictures of Archibald who is made from the samr pattern.

The illustrations in the book were one of the first pushes I had toward finally starting my doll-making. Somehow I needed to try to make something like the dolls illustrated in the book.
Here they all are together-

I took the 3 dolls to Doll Club today. They will be part of a club exhibit of dolls from children’s books at the Littleton Library during the month of May. They will then be packed up and moved to the Chelmsford Library for the months of July and August. I won’t see them again til September! I think this may be traumatic!
