SPECIAL DOLLS

The dolls on this page have been made as one-of-a-kind exhibition pieces over a number of years. Most of them have head and limbs of air-drying clay, rather than my usual all-fabric construction. They are also a departure from my historical costume theme, although some are still based upon recognisable eras. The amount of work and detail in each far exceeds that given to my production models, with a particular emphasis on hand embroidery and beadwork. I have only rarely offered them for sale and I shall continue to enjoy them on my display shelf, but thought you might like the chance to see them too, or even acquire them for your display shelf instead.
