Well, today at the dolls' house fair I snagged a delightful Georgian-style doll - not a dolls' house doll, but a dolls' house doll's doll, less than two inches high, dressed beautifully in retrieved and recycled old fabric and lace.
The maker, unusually, is a man - and a black man at that, something rare in dolls' house circles. He takes immense pride in his teeny creations, which include teddies and other toys as small as pipe cleaners.
Here's my little treasure:
Looks wonderful...I envy people who can work so small, I can barely get thread through a needle :)
ReplyDeleteLovely..
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Val! What a find!
ReplyDeleteLooks very delicate!
ReplyDeleteEliza, funny you should say that. There was a stall selling little needle-threading machines, one for hand sewing, one for machines. I can let you have her details if you do much sewing and want to get one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! How was the rest of the fair? Did you buy anything else?
ReplyDeleteOh yes - mini books, a goldfish bowl with a kittie pushing it over, a bowl of salad, and a round table with inlay pattern.
