making little dolls and rabbits

I do love old toys and dolls and a number of my pieces are inspired by collections of these. It’s been quite a while since I made some fairies but I still have all the supplies and recently I decided to make some more. I also had an idea about how to make some smaller dolls and also little rabbits using pegs.

My previous fairies were clothed in organza, lace and fancy ribbons. For my new dolls I’m using vintage 60′s/70′s fabrics and lace. I’m not totally sure what I’ll make the rabbits’ clothes out of yet, perhaps a mixture of felt and vintage fabrics.

    oh my goodness!! It looks incredibly fiddly … you must have amazing patience :-)

    I love your little doll’s dress – she looks very glamourous.
