I've added a couple of "Elders" to my collection of "Wise Ones". I thought the men should be represented!

My adventures in cloth doll making started like this: I bought two books: The Book of Doll Making by Alicia Merrett and The Dolls Dressmaker by Venus Dodge. I read both books from cover to cover, tried out some of the techniques, then set to and made the twins. That was just the start. I began this blog, and then I bought Creative Cloth Doll Making by Patti Medaris Culea, adding more techniques and quite a different type of doll to my efforts. Who knows where it will lead?

These are really wonderful, Kay. I think you did a fantastic job them.
Oh these are wonderful and for some reason I keep thinking they would be so lovely for a nativity set.
Kay your cloth dolls are just wonderful - I am in awe!
Beautiful faces. Are the dolls made from wool? do you teach your dolls? or have patterns? just beautiful .
Thank you all for the nice comments.
Heather, these dolls are made from scraps of fleece fabric, felt, wool tops(roving)and other bits and pieces, needlefelted together on the embellisher and machine quilted. The faces are made from a polyester suede fabric. I don't teach them or sell patterns, they are still evolving!
What wonderful, colourful dolls! How is it that I've missed them before! Beautiful work!!
Just out blog hoppin with CDA and wanted to say Hi!
