Tsk Tsk, shame shame!

ver a month since my last post!!!??? How did this happen? Just busy with life really. Went to Florida for part of it, which was so lovely and oh so relaxing! Now preparing to leave this Monday for Missouri to pick up my son. He just finished basic training at Fort Leonard Wood and is coming home for a couple of weeks, than off to Fort Hood!!!! I'm so excited to see him and could not be more proud.

(Here's me looking off our balcony - quite the view, yes?)

But I have not neglected my doll-making entirely. I've been wanting to create another "Alice in Wonderland" for some time now.... and with the movie just out (which i still have not seen btw), was the much needed inspiration.

When we get back on the 8th of May I hope to get her finished and listed on Ebay.
Sure hope ya'll are having a beautiful and productive spring!!!!!

Edward Tulane doll just in time for Easter!

ou would think with such a fancy pocket watch that Edward could
be a little more punctual!!! Well I must admit that it is not all
his fault,,, I might have had something to do with.
Anyway he will be on Ebay this Evening for a 5 day auction
so that he can arrive in time for Easter Sunday (if he doesn't
lose his watch in meantime that is)LOL

Click HERE if you'd like to visit him on Ebay!



SOLD!!! If you'd like to be notified when another Edward becomes available please email me at: Papernan@msn.com

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.

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

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!!

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
