My lastest little Izannah Walker (Izzy) doll




Well I've finally had the time to complete my third doll, inspired by the talented late Izannah Walker (although she is still awaiting her under-garments). She's 10 inches high and handcrafted with cloth & paper clay. Painted in oils and sealed with a antique varnish.

Queen Anne Doll slash Milliner's Doll






Well she started out being inspired by making Queen Anne doll, but I just couldn't resist adding in hair with the paperclay so her's my Queen Anne slash Milliner's Doll.

Izannah Walker inspired doll










Well here's my first doll, she's inspired by Izannah Walker and is around 17 inches big. Love the way that her aged method I tried came up. Can't wait to start on my next Izzy doll.

Welcome

Hi there, and welcome to my blog :)
You will find it is mostly about my newly inspired passion to make 1800 century looking dolls. Using the method of Cloth & paperclay then sculpting, painting, antiquing and of course dressing them to become unique and original with my on touch of creativity. As I am very new to this, I would love for you to follow and please feel free to comment (good or bad) on my journey of doll making :) You also might find from time to time photos & postings of my original oil paintings that I sell throughout New Zealand. Thanks for visiting Melissa
