I’ve got some catching upto do after my busy fair last week
and as I am always being asked about how the dolls are made, I thought I would
take a few pictures of the making of Jade. To fit this in with my schedule I have been getting up at 5.30am several days this week and have been working later in the evening, but I do enjoy making the doll, it is a labour of love.
As you can see she is a little girl of about 7 years and also is fast asleep. Here she is in pieces, waiting to be assembled - she does have a lovely
face.
Firstly, I strung the head and then the limbs were put in place.
Her friends are here to play – “wake up
sleepy head”.

She looks so cosy in her red cardigan with her matching red leather
shoes, I pleated the floral cotton fabric for her skirt included a waistband to
keep it tidy, Jade’s blouse is cream silk, you can just see the tiny pearl
effect buttons running up the front.
Her
friend still cant wake her.
