Guenilles et Boutons. She beautifully describes her work as 'poupées de chiffons fait main'. I first became aware of her dolls on Pinterest and later found her shop on Etsy at 'guenillesetboutons' - all one word.
Her girls are disturbing yet deeply attractive, I find her style is unique and her devotion to detail very appealing. Cath is by training a graphic designer and you can feel the strong sense of design in her dolls. She found herself wanting more than an image, wanting to make something that she could hold in her hand, hence the dolls. Her girls are little cloth souls, she says, waiting for someone to hear their whisper. I can stongly empathise with that need to have something to hold in the hand, that is the very satisfying nature of doll making.
