Thank you so much for your reply which was very helpful. The closest I ever came to making dolls like this was when I made the figures for a nativity scene for my children about 35 years ago. They had embroidered faces but that was the only decoration. And they were very small. Sadly, I no longer have them but I can feel another, more elaborate group coming on, this time for my grandchildren. Warm regards, Suzy
I love your dolls. Each one is so individual. I assume that you do all the embroidery before you make them up, but do you? They inhabit their shapes so beautifully.
I also like your other embroideries very much indeed. Do you hand dye your felt? Sorry to pepper you with questions but you've inspired me. Warm regards, Suzy in Melbourne.
Hi Art!
Thank you for your really nice comment on my beaded mini-book.
I've always admired your dolls and your amazing use of colour.
I'm with you on the birds, they are so terribly sweet. (Saw a bag last week covered in tiny birds made of gold thread and pearls).

How good to hear from you. I sympathize with your reloaction. We have our home for sale now and I dread the boxing up and cleaning up that looms out there in our future. But a new place can be exciting, and that's what I'll concentrate on.
I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Hi Margaret,
Sorry for the very delay in responding to your kind comments. I have relocated and I'm just beginning to feel settled in. I wish you the best with your angels....actually I have some angels in the works as well.....but still in the design phase.
Thanks and I hope you the best for the new year!!!
I love your dolls! I've been making embroidered angels, but they're in framed pieces, and that seems to limit them. I tried making dolls with arms and legs, but got into more construction than I wanted to deal with. Your prototype is the perfect compromise, and I can't wait to try it out. I hope you know that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
