Hello!

I like to think of the art of doll-making as inspiring and calming. I fill each doll I make with love, and hope that this loving energy will carry through to the people who bring my dolls into their families. Welcome to my journal, where I share my creative adventures. Hope you have a pleasant stay!

Maëlle is a natural doll,  about 18" tall, made with wool and swiss cotton.  Her head was made with a needle-felting technique, her eyes and mouth - embroidered. Her hair is beautiful Suri Alpaca, sewn into weft by me and then crocheted into a wig.

Maëlle's clothing was made especially for her. She will come wearing: a striped cotton bodysuit (featuring snaps in the back), a pair of wide linen pants with a wooden button closure in the back, a hand-knitted cardigan, made with beautiful mohair/cashmere yarn with sequins, matching striped socks, and a pair of wool/leather shoes (unfortunately, the little goose isn't coming with Maëlle since he's staying with his siblings at our pond).

Due to the nature of Maëlle's hair (Suri Alpaca is extremely delicate and very soft, making it tangly and difficult to brush), the doll is recommended for an older child, 9+, or an adult collector.

Thank you for visiting!
