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!

May-Elise

May-Elise

At last spring has sprung! 

It's a season that bursts with new beginnings, new life, and, of course, new little dolls...

Hello!! by petit gosset

May-Elise is a natural fiber art doll, a little over 18" tall. She was made with Swiss cotton interlock and stuffed very firmly with wool. Her hair was made of beautiful, silky-soft Suri alpaca locks, that were combed, washed, dyed with black tea, sewn into wefts, and then crocheted into a wool cap. Her hair is very fragile and should be styled with fingers only (no brush). Her face was sculpted with needle felting technique, brown eyes - embroidered, light freckles - hand-painted, and cheeks - blushed with beeswax.
