ll things small seem to speak to me. I have forever had a fascination for minis and have shadowboxes chock full to hold them in. I didn't realize it would carry over into my dollmaking like it has,,, but for now I'll just go with the flow. Hope you like my latest Teeny Queen Anne. She will be available on Ebay this evening. Click here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

ERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, MY DEAR BLOG AND DOLLY FRIENDS!!!

Teeny Queeny just in time!

or Christmas that is! I'm going to put her on Ebay this evening just in case someone NEEDS a last minute gift for themselves or someone they love!!! She won't take up much room under the tree either at only 5 inches tall. And comes with her own gift box too!

Well ya knew I had to do it!

hat's right ... a minuscule version of an early Grodnertal Tuck comb doll.
This one is 4.5" ... I modeled her after one of John Darcy Noble's dolls. (Here she is posing with a picture of said doll from his book of antique dolls...

oh and her teensy 1" pull toy sheep was challenging, to say the least, oh my!

Now on Ebay HERE

Teeny Queeny

'm having waaaay too much fun with these tiniest of creatures!
Somebody Stop me!
But I'm finding my eyes are not what they use to be, so am
having to use a magnifier, YIKES!! With that being said, please don't look too closely at her... just kiddin'. If she doesn't mind her little flaws well than
how can I?

Dolls enjoy dollhouses too!!!

wee bit of a thing here, 6.5" to be exact.... I love all things mini and I'll bet that is why I cannot get enough of these dollhouse sized Izzys. I have a collection of mini paper houses and this one is a copy from my original... She happens to have claimed it for her very own. Of course I was not able to say "no" to that face !

My smallest Izannah Walker yet !!!!

I've been wanting to make a dollhouse sized Itty Izzy for a very long time and
finally got around to.... (so tiny in stature but so big in personality I should add.) She is 6 inches tall and proud of it!

Printed Cloth Izannah Walker Doll and Lithograph Kitty

This little lady has been waiting forever and a day to have some attention paid to "just her"...
well I finally got around to dressing and photographing. She is almost as relieved as am I !!!
I have way to many irons in the fire at one time lately,,,, anyone else having this problem?

Hope everyone has some fun times planned for the upcoming Labor Day weekend!!! Share!
Thanks a million for stopping by!!
Nan

Sad Izannah Walker doll

Why the long face?
Poor child won't tell me what the matter is!
Have you ever seen anything more pathetic?
I sure hope she will smile once she
finds a new family... Hoping to finish her
dress up by Sunday.
Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~On her pedestal~ Another Wooden, Grodnertal Tuck Comb Doll

What is this dolly perched upon you ask?
Why it is her little presentation box....
If you look closely, (click on the pictures to enlarge) you can see a name on the sampler attached to the lid?
That is what I've named her... Please meet, Mary Susannah Causton, born in 1864. Wish I was aging as gracefully as she! ;-)
She just loves how it makes her feel when she is placed atop of this box. Like "Queen of the World!!!!"

She will be on Ebay (click here) this evening if all goes well.
Thanks for stopping by!!!
Sincerely,
Nan

Works in Progress and playing with Photobucket!

What am I doing today???
Playing with dolls and Photobucket's editing... I really need to get a life, lol !!!

OOPs I did it again !!

Nope not the song, but my confession..... I was asked to make a special order for
an Itty Izzy and ended up with twins, lol ! Here's the one that was
rejected, poor thing. I sure hope someone will give her a good home.
She is up for adoption this evening on Ebay. Click here if ya wanna take
a looky see.

Wooden Tuck comb Doll

Grodner Tal Doll -Work in Progress

UPDATE::: Just had to snap a quick pic of my pretty bouquet and little Grodner Tal with her newly attached limbs. Life is Good!
Hope everyone had a Happy Mothers Day!!!




I've finally gotten around at trying my hand on a "Grodner Tal" Doll. These dolls were carved completely out of wood in the early 19th century..... I cheated and started with a wooden finial and tweaked it a bit or alot, lol! Sure wish I had a lathe! I'm making mine with a "tuck-comb" hairstyle.
I'm carving her little legs and arms from clothes pins. Not sure how to attach yet?
Here's a picture of her so far.... (you can barely see the photo of an original in background).
I'll try to snap some pics of her arms/legs a little later, but right now my camera battery is charging.
Thanks for visiting!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend too!

Plain ol' rag-doll and her favored dolly are up for adoption this evening on Ebay. ~CLICK HERE to see~
