Little Dolly in a Shoe




This tiny dolly in a shoe is seen in my previous post among other of my new miniature dolls. Recently Country Living magazine came to my house and photographed me in the process of making a doll. Among the many dolls photographed was this little one. I look forward to seeing if she shows up in the article which they tell me is slated for possibly their October issue! You see, I was invited to be a member of the esteemed Country Living Artists Guild, and I am still pinching myself!
Little dolly above was spotted by a friend and neighbor who wanted to purchase her, and therefore I consented. Today little doll in her shoe moves almost next door, and I am so happy to know that I may visit her occasionally!
I assure you, I will be announcing more on my Country Living excitement as soon as the issue is published!

  20. Oh, Zwee, I love the miniature dollies! Your dolls are always so sweet! You won't believe how my poppet/moppet turned out from your pattern. I'm actually quite pleased with her, although still need to give her some suitable shoes. I finally found some suitable jewelry findings that will make excellent 18th century shoe buckles! Mariah Regina may be the first to try them on! I posted on my blog the other day the story of moppets v. poppets and how my moppet/poppet decided she needed to be the queen's moppet, since special dispensation was granted to couriers carrying the queen's fashion doll -- they were even allowed to cross battle lines, so important was it for the queen to be apprised of the latest fashions!

    Anyway, since I got up early today, I thought I'd pop over and see what you've been up to.

    Love Country Living and can't wait to see you in it. You're such a nice person and such a wonderful artist. You deserve every wonderful thing in the universe to come your way!!

  21. Congratulations!

    This little one is so lovely--and my favorite sized doll, too. As you know, I made your Moppet pattern 8 inches tall and it is adorable at that size.

    I cannot get over your wonderful studio space...it is magical! You must love your studio!
