Halloween Party – Part 2

October 22, 2016October 22, 2016 paulawalton4 Comments

Everyone is here! It’s time to get the party started…

Making Costumes

Isabeau has decided that she should help all of the dolls and party guests make costumes. She got out our collection of Dennison Boogie Books for ideas, along with the crepe paper, Dresden trims and lithographed scrapes…

making costumes

so many choices…

Isabeau wants to be a pumpkin!

That was fun! It’s time to put the craft supplies away. We have so much more to do…

Halloween Greetings

The dolls all want to wish you a very Happy Halloween!

Ladies in White… are they ghostly visitors, tip-toeing among the tombstones? Or are they Count Dracula’s brides??? Eliza Jane, Memory and Ismay are having trouble deciding between themselves… but either way they want to wish you a hauntingly beautiful Halloween!

Zanna is usually the mildest most even tempered of dolls, but her devilish side is peeking out tonight as she sends warm Halloween Greetings your way!

Hanna wishes you all over flowing goodie bags and treats galore!

“BOO!” from Izzybelle to you!

Isabeau wishes you spooky, spine tickling chills and thrills this Halloween!

Haunted Halloween Fashions

I have a tiny stash of hoarded antique orange “cheddar” and black mourning fabrics just perfect for celebrating Halloween, but not so “costumey” that they can’t be worn year around. I’ve fashioned some of my favorites into dresses to fit my 18 inch dolls. I have four dresses available for sale, just in time for Halloween!

Annabelle & Annalee Are Homeward Bound

October 19, 2016 paulawalton3 Comments

The twins, Annabelle and Annalee, are headed to their new home. ❤

I truly love these twins! There is something so magical about doubles. I tried my best to capture the twin’s beguiling personalities, but have to say they are much more engaging in person! I made their matching dresses in one of my very favorite styles, from an amazing piece of pristine c. 1850 double pink print cotton. At the beginning of the summer I was fortunate enough to run across a bag filled with the fabric stash of some long ago quilter… The bag contained a few pieced blocks, many applique cut outs and quite a bit of unused fabric. It was an unbelievable find!

Marti’s Anna

September 27, 2016 paulawalton6 Comments

As promised her are photos of Marti’s doll. She’ll be leaving here soon to start her trip home. ❤

A special order doll for Marti, made from my Anna mold.

Marti’s doll loves helping in the garden. She has such a green thumb!

The original Anna is standing on the right side of the photograph. Luckily she is here for a tiny bit of restoration work, so she could pose with her young offspring 🙂

Anna’s slightly chubby body makes her seem more childlike. I love her slight shape varation <3<3

To enlarge any photo and read the captions, just click on the image. The early morning sunlight was bouncing off the walls in my studio, creating a bit of glare on Anna’s paint so it does look slightly shinier in the photos than it does in person. Over time as her paint continues to dry and cure it will become more matte. ❤ Anna is sooooooo excited to be traveling to her new home and her sister Izzybelle. ❤
