This little lady is dressed in a pretty Liberty print dress called Hedgerow Blooms from the Heirloom 4 collection with a red wood cape and a heavily embroidered folk art apron. Sporting a woolly hat, stout felt booties and a sampler pillow she is ready for her walk to Grandma's House. Beneath her dress she wears broderie anglais drawers, tiny white sock and her petticoats are Liberty cotton with white mesh tulle.
Her face is hand embroidered with frosted glass eyes and hand styled wool tops for hair.
I am really enjoying making these little girls, I find them really satisfying and I love the idea of them as one of a kind dolls. I am currently working on new nursery rhyme characters but will visit favourite characters from books, folk tales and comics. All my favourite characters. I think Heidi will be one of the first with a Hansel and Gretel to follow as a pair.
I really hope you like them and the idea xx
