#101

It is a bit complicated.

This was supposed to be #101. I was rephotographing her after the trip to Washington when I noticed that she was damaged. She is torn at the crotch. That is unfixable and probably a result of all the handling involved with doing a show- the packing, hanging, and manhandling by shoppers. So instead, this is #101-

He was one of the last dolls I finished right before I left and he found a new home in Washington DC. I never took an official “portrait”, just these booth photos.

2 posts in one day- CRAZY! But, I’m still behind and I like to post things here before I put them in my Etsy shop.

I could iron his ears down but I like them looking so enthusiastic.

trip to Washington, DC

It was great fun to get out of the studio and go down to Washington for a few days. Here we are, packing the last few things to go in the car, early Friday morning. Yes, I’ll be posting photos of all those dolls soon!

Our big excitement on the trip down-

fox and owl

Posted on by

I am back from Washington DC and will continue to post all the pieces that I didn’t get to show you before I left. Some of them found new families and some will go into my Etsy shop in the next few days.

This sweet little girl fox and her owl toy went off to live in Asheville, NC.

She has a book in her other pocket. Her coat has some wonderful antique buttons that I bought at the Sturbridge Vintage and Antique Textile show in May. She has a silk ribbon at her ear.

Her dress is Liberty and perfect for a dressed-up forest girl.

working on more foxes

I am working like crazy, getting ready for Crafty Bastards next weekend in Washington, DC. As a result, I’ve gotten behind on posting the finished pieces. Here is a sweet girl fox- Liberty of London lawn dress and soft baby wale corduroy jacket. I love the little brass buttons on her jacket.
