Description

This little doll is Iris. She is made from quality wool felt with frosted glass bead eyes and curly lilac wool roving for hair. Her facial details are hand embroidered and her hair is hand styled. She is dressed in a Liberty print cotton called Iris Muriel and it features lots of iris flowers in shades of pink and purple. Her bobble hat is Tweed Felt Rowan Wool. Beneath her dress she has broderie anglais drawers with tiny cotton socks and wool felt boots. Her petticoats are a Lavender cotton chambray with white tulle lace. Her apron is heavily hand embroidered with a folk art pattern of an iris flower symbolizing hope. She is finished with tiny buttons and a sampler pillow. Due to fine fabric, button joints and tiny details she is not suitable for children and is not a toy but a decorative item.

A note from the seller

New Tiny Birds for Autumn Have Arrived xx 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 is a new collection of dolls from my favourite fairy tales and nursery rhymes with the odd favourite character thrown in. They are little girls rather than the women I normally make. Each is a complete one off and while I will revisit the theme I will not be repeating the individual doll. So OOAK.

  • Delighted with my purchase. It is so beautifully made. The stitching is exquisite as are her gorgeous, handmade clothes. A lot of love and care has gone into producing this adorable little mouse. Fast delivery too. Thank you.

  • I'm back again because I just cant resist buying these. They are so beautifully made that what is charged for them doesn't anywhere near cover the time I know has been put in to them .
