Dollhouse Dolls...

Lola and i have been making some special dolls to go along with her new doll house.

She has made a whole family of clothespin dolls. We may be adding scraps of fabric for clothes and maybe some hair and hats too...

The doll on the left has unusual features! He has eyes, a nose and then a belly button just above his mouth!

and this little guy looks like he's had a bit too much coffee!

There are a few peg dollies too

Here are a few of the dolls i've made to add to the family!

These two clothespin dolls are named(by Lola) Lenny and Samuel

a close up of the boys...

and these two little fairy dolls are made with pipe cleaners, wooden beads, felt and silk flowers. Now Gumma (that's me) has to get going and paint the inside of the doll house rooms and find some furniture so all of these new inhabitants can move in! We will keep you updated!

More Dolls....

This is my new glove doll. His name is Arlo, and he is a donkey...

He has a very nice tail and a full black mane

And WHO could resist that face! Hopefully he will find his Soul mate once he gets to The Paper Sparrow and is seen by the passers by....

And this is Clementine! She wears her Valentine!

She has bright orange painted hair and a very nice smile. She has a skirt on now...

but under that skirt she has a very pretty pair of shorts on... She will be looking for someone to love at The Paper Sparrow too, but it will have to be someone who understands her true nature, as she comes off as being a little "stiff" at times.... We'll see....

Making Dollies

Lola has never really payed much attention to stuffed animals or dolls. She hugs them and then drops them.(I'm the one who LOVES them!) She spends all her time here reading books and making beautiful pictures with her new crayons. But lately she has really liked playing with little wooden animals i have found for her at the local craft stores. While shopping there i found these little peg doll shapes and decided to make her some dollies to go with her block set. I think she will like these two little sisters...

And this is Lenny, an old fashioned clothespin doll i made for her...

Lenny and his buddy Sam are already well played with, and live in Lola's crayon box..

This is Clarice, a little kitty glove doll i made for a customer at The Paper Sparrow. When i finished her i wasn't sure if i liked the way she came out but her new owner loved her and took her home for her little girl...

She loved her fancy tail! I love making dolls. I am so glad we can continue to offer them at The Paper Sparrow. More to come!
