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

Maker of Folk Art Dolls for Grown Ups

My dolls and doll making interests have evolved over the last twenty five years into folk dolls for grown ups. Each one is a labour of love and each one has her own personality. I make one at a time and lavish attention to get my details right. I tried making them in batches but they lost their heart so now each is made individually from start to finish. I rarely repeat combinations, each doll being unique and a one of a kind.

I studied design at university but having done lots and lots of short courses in textiles I had a wonderful confidence boost with a City and Guilds certificate and diploma in Stitched Textiles with Dr Judith Peacock at Lancaster, the old City and Guilds Part 1 and 2. The best four years ever, I learned so much from Judith and my fellow stitchers. I love hand work and have a special interest in counted thread work, developing my own style over the last ten years. I will be offering a very limited number of commission slots each month, so if you want something individual keep an eye out for dates.

    Such an exquisite doll, made to such a high quality and level of detail. I love her. She was packaged so well and shipped immediately. Thank you so much. I’ll be back!

    Beautiful Coraline doll. Wonderful detailing and outfit. I especially love the little Other Mother in her coat pocket. Captures the spirit of the character perfectly. Amazing service as always. Thanks so much!

    I absolutely love this bird , honestly the level of work that goes into these wonderful creatures is not reflected in the price. I can't get enough of them
