GENERAL INFORMATION

This website is primarily my online catalogue of dolls, which are made in two different sizes, as shown below, though the larger ones have now been retired.

I began my adventures in costume by dressing commercial dolls back in childhood but by 1972 had graduated to making my own range of original one eighth scale dolls and have since sold them to collectors all around the world - from Finland to Fiji. These dolls illustrate the history of English costume from 55BC to 1982. I have also been making one twelfth scale dolls for dolls houses since 1995. The range here is from Tudor times to present day.

The dolls are made entirely by myself from my own sculptures and designs. They are made from cotton stockinette over a wire frame, with heads rigidly moulded to shape and hand painted features. Costumes are carefully researched and reproduced as accurately as possible within the constraints of their small size. I use a wide variety of fabrics and trims for the costumes - anything that gives the right effect for the style represented. Some have been specially purchased but a high proportion are recycled from vintage clothing or remnants. The bases for the History of Costume Dolls are made from recycled timber and the cartons and any bubblewrap in which dolls are shipped are also recycled. I like to think I am doing my bit for the environment.

This site is divided into two parts to cover the two ranges of dolls, followed by information on shows, links, how to order and a page with pictures of my own dolls house - just for fun. The first section is for Dolls House Dolls and the second for the History of Costume series of larger dolls, with each page devoted to a historic period, showing details about each doll available.

There are links at the bottom of each page to take you to the next one or back here to the Contents list. You may also use the 'Back' button to return to the previous page. Please remember to refresh the page if you have visited before in order to show any updates.

I hope you enjoy looking through and will come back again. Do let me know if you have any comments. Email me at ttccdolls@yahoo.co.uk.
