I love fabrics, velvets,brocades , silks, lace. I use them lavishly to create my hand sewn dollies. I use a machine for only the smallest amount of work, in the main it is hand sewn and lovingly created to allow little girls (and big ones) to dress and undress them. I prefer to embroider the faces of my dollies I really don't like glass eyes 'to real'.
The biggest compliment I ever had given me was when I took this dolly to the local shop in Harlech Seasons and Reasons, while waiting to show my friend her in all her intricate details a Welsh Lady in her late 70's stopped and admired the attention to details. She told me that she still wore her National Dress in her home, that this dolly was a very good representation of the true dress and named my dolly for me, she called her Gwynedd the very name of the county I lived in and I was incredibly pleased. The hand made shoes are made in felt but the rest of the costume was created in the typical fabrics of the National Costume.
not the best picture in the world of Cat, made from papier mache and faux fur his glass eyes gleamed green and malevolent as he eats the money
