I’m Keeping Myself in Stitches

Doll Adventures

I continue to develop the Tea and Crumpet doll design. The most recent dolls are based on techniques I learned from a class with doll artist, Shelley Thorton, whose work is out of this world. The technique starts with building a cranium for the doll out of hemp and wool and then covering it with knit fabric. It’s very detailed, but the results, when done well, can be stunning.
