Little Aderyn is a new tiny bullfinch doll made to the new size, so very dainty. I particularly love her dress fabric, a Liberty Cotton called Vintage Summer from the Riviera Collection. Teamed with a Tilda Chambray Coral the dress picks up the pale orange in the pinks of her embroidery. With the colours of the stitching I am trying to reflect the paler colours of a female bullfinch rather than the strident pinks of the male.
She is listed on the shop and I will be making more birds over the next few weeks. Also currently on the shop is a small summer sale of older dolls and patterns that my dratted hand will no longer let me make. Each doll is £20 or under and all sale dolls are half price or less.
I am so happy to be taking part in The Makers Market of the National Festival of Making next Saturday, the 8th of July at Blackburn Cathedral.
My stall will feature a range of new and sale dolls, and for that day only all dolls will be £30 or less with each mouse being £20 or less. I will also have brooches and keyrings. Each of these will be £7.50 or 3 for £20. As some stock will overlap my Folksy Shop will be closed that weekend.
This is a really lovely event with lots going on in the town centre. Wonderful street food, entertainers, speakers and exhibitions with workshops on top. The atmosphere is lovely and the festival is gaining momentum as this is the fifth year. Really glad to be back and looking forward to it.
