Bobbin, A Tiny Robin Doll

 

Tiny Bobbin is a little robin doll dressed in Liberty tana lawn. This is a vintage print called Poppy and Honesty in deep reds, blues and yellow on a white ground. Her dress is supported by pistachio gingham cotton and white tulle lace.
Every part of her is embroidered from her head to her wings and tail. A tiny girl she just sits in your hand. Carrying a sampler pillow and sporting a detachable robin hoop brooch she is a sweet girl.
These birds are the smallest dolls I make, I say seven inches but they are probably slightly smaller and definitely smaller than my mice.
Embroidered in feather stitch, straight stitch, woven running stitch and random cross stitch she also has the new birdier feet. As passerines these little girls are as dainty as I can make them. The larger crows and owls I am working on will be more robust.
Just to mention the last few dolls of the November sale are now listed and available. I am busy working on commissions through to December so little now will be added to my Folksy Shop.
Have a lovely weekend with this glorious sunny weather. Beautiful clear skies but oh so cold! xx
