This doll emerged out of my need to create something purple. Simple really! I have lots of purple fabric and trim - not to mention beads, wool and old jewellery. A nod to some dramatic and colourful theatrical costumes created in the past.

Safety information

I use a lot of beads and small parts. Please keep away from children - especially the small ones who eat everything!

Full description

OOAK Art Doll. Handmade and unique. 17” / 45cm

This one just took off as soon as I started. I thought, briefly, that there might be a huge underskirt involved, but it wasn't to be. I can almost see this one riding a circus horse - operatic (almost), showy (definitely) and strangely practical for riding... I didn't see that one coming.

If no horse is available, I would suggest a shelf to sit on.

Various fabrics and trim are used, plus small amounts of lace, beads, and jewellery. The hair is a chunky acrylic yarn. I use paints, varnish and lots of glue.

The doll is made with button-jointed hips and shoulders, allowing for some movement for sitting and moving the arms. The knees and elbows are also designed to give a small amount of movement.

Have a look at the 'About' section on my shop page for more details about my doll-making.

Note: This is not a toy and shouldn't be given to children to play with. You cannot take it apart or brush the hair.

Delivery is via Parcelforce 48-hour, tracked.
