Tuesday Talent - Sarah Strachan

I first discovered the joys that are Sarah Strachan's dolls in Selvedge Magazine and have followed her journey both on her blog and on her Etsy page.

Sarah is primarily a puppet maker, trained at Central St Martins in London and who even worked in Jim Henson's Creature Shop.  So as you can imagine the finish is excellent. Sarah is a working mum of two small children and lives in Totnes, Devon.

This garden series is my favourite, particularly the little sweater land girl, but there are many different incarnations of her little ladies.  Her first series was of high end fashion dolls featuring period fabric and couture outfits.  The dolls, however, take on many styles both contemporary and period. I don't think I have seen any dolls quite like these

On her Etsy shop you will also find the little dogs that are crafted so sweetly.  For more information visit Sarah's website at www.sarahstrachan.com
