Tuesday Talent - Annie Montgomerie

 Annie Montgomerie is a wonderful doll maker from Dorchester in the south of England.  She is well known for her animal dolls, little anthropomorphic characters with stunning detail and intriguing personalities.  She upcycles lots of materials and her dolls are choc full of individual quirks and details.

Recently however I came across her rather lovely cloth dolls featuring lots of embroidery, applique and hand stitching.  Annie has a website at anniemontgomerie.co.uk, she has a Facebook page also, but to find these stunning fabric dolls you need to go to Pinterest.  There you will find so many different versions of these long ladies you won't be able to stop pinning.  I love these dolls.

You will find the whole world in these dolls - there are seaside dolls, piggy dolls or pastoral field - so many variations.  Sadly she does not seem to make them anymore, even her Esty shop does not stock them but I wanted to share them for the sheer joy they bring - really lovely.
