| Small wooden
dolls being 7-8 inches or 175mm high
These dolls came about by accident! It started by me wondering how small
I could make an articulated figure and the results are above right and
the trio I've called the Three Graces.
These took far longer to make than I intended and I doubt if I'll do any
more;
As a result of this, I thought I'd try to do something really simple and
quick. Of course they were neither, but the turned 'peg' dolls with the
twig legs (like ballerinas) were the most fun.
The other dolls were made with a face that was carved back from a turned
profile and made with standing up feet.
I decided to paint some and tried clothing a few with scraps. So they
can be offered in various stages of completion and at a variety of price.
However they are NOT suitable for the very young or pets tempted by a
novelty snack.
Unpainted simple dolls (ie not one
of the 3 Graces) are £14.00
Painted simple dolls are £17.00
Painted dolls with fabric (silk) for dressing £19.00
Articulated figure like one of the 3 Graces £60.00
