Inner Child Doll

This inner child doll was made with thoughtfulness and care for a dear friend. Her hair is made of pure, undyed sheep wool, naturally soft and curly. Her clothes and shoes were crocheted with pure wool. She is 30 cm tall, has a wonderful presence and is very lovely to hold and look at. I crocheted her a blanket in the colours of Spring so she can rest and relax in a cosy cocoon of pure wool. 

As I am in the process of learning how to make full doll bodies, this small friend's body was outsourced from a lady who makes Steiner dolls. 

Draculina

A mysterious and elusive presence in the house, Draculina is a body-less creature who floats and rests in multiples layers of red and black lace, seducing unwary onlookers with her beguiling eyes and voluptuous lips. 

Resting on a coffin of linen and velvet, her sepulchral pillow was made with a reclaimed satin eyemask stuffed with offcuts and stitched in blood red thread, offering incomparable moments of contemplation for eternity. 

By her side rests the key to her castle, where I am not allowed to go. I am, however, permitted to provide refreshments at regular intervals. Her tiny pint of blood and spider-web biscuit tin are therefore always at hand. The little pint glass is a reclaimed plastic cap and the tiny biscuit tin was made with a reclaimed bottle cap.

I humbly gathered reclaimed packaging to assemble a grimoire for her, which I am not allowed to read, as I am told it is full of knowledge far surpassing my mortal capacities. When I peered through its depths in an act of unconscionable disobedience, I was dismayed to find blood red pages without any discernable traces of writing. I was informed that this is a  protection spell set against the uninitiated. In order to make amends for my ill-advised curiosity, I immediately set upon embellishing it with a friendly bat and suitably sinister ornamentations.

Draculina is 40 cm long and was made with lace and cashmere offcuts from the wonderful company Brighton Lace.

Guardian Angel

A pure wool friend with a soft needle felted head, the robe is made with laceweight Uist Wool and the hair is made with ultra silky Wensleydale sheep locks. The guardian angel is 45 cm tall and offers a very cuddly and reassuring presence. 

Elleag, Spirit of the Forest

Elleag is a gentle soul made with pure wool: with a cuddly needle felted head, a beautiful ornate and flowing robe crocheted in soothing shades of green wool, and a magical flowing hair made with locks of sheep dyed in the shades of the forest. She is a lovely little companion with a great sense of fun.
