Miniature Dolls

Making miniature dolls is one of my favourite hobbies. Check out the Gallery page to see some of these finished miniature & half dolls

Half dolls were very popular at the beginning of the 1900s.  They graciously adorned  items such as pincushions, tassels, tea cosies, lamps, brooch holders, feather dusters, small boxes, powder puffs, milk jug covers, perfume bottles, cushions, framed collages, and pot pourri. 

The dolls can be decorated using knitted beads (left), silk ribbon work, beads, quilting, doilies and beautifully dyed lace. The list is endless and  only limited by your imagination. 

Made of fine  porcelain,  they are elegant dolls with  beautiful faces and features. 

They make lovely decorations to hang on doors, hang from  pictures on the wall, wardrobe doors, dressing tables or attach to your cabinet or cabinet keys.
