Thank you to everyone who bought in the Folksy Perfectly Imperfect weekend .
Please enjoy browsing and should you buy a doll she will be packaged in an organza bag. I have been given literally hundreds and will use them until they run out rather than let them go to landfill. Thank you and my warmest wishes xx

This new pattern reflects my desire to make my bird ladies more dainty and bird-like.this series has the new fine spiky legs that are far more bird like than clumby leather boots.
I am very fond of our native birds, birds generally really and I wanted a way to use birds in my work. I have also recently wanted to use more embroidery in my work and this seemed a lovely way of combining the two. I love the delicacy of these smaller little ladies and the way they sit in your hand. I genuinely enjoy making them and I hope you like them.

Full description

This is Tom he is a tiny hand embroidered blue tit rag doll, a new pattern and much smaller than the original bird folk with the new birdier feet. I use no paint to delineate the pattern but work freehand embroidery onto self colour cloth to make the plumage both on the front and the back of the doll. He has a tiny embroidered tail with her wings also heavily embroidered. Tom is dressed in a pretty Acufactum cotton waistcoat called Titmouse Time in a rich pattern of blue tits, great tits and their nests. He is dressed in plus fours and a silk cravat of his green cotton shirt. he carries a little embroidery hoop that is also embroidered. He has a little brass ring to his back so he can hang. He has a piece of citrine to his heart with rosemary in his stuffing for a gentle fragrance.

He is, as are all my dolls, warm and companiable with a touch of English whimsy. I hope he makes you smile. Please remember he is not a toy and not suitable for children.
