Lilith

Dolls Made by   Deena Maurus

These are my first attempts at doll making and I love it!

The first three (above) are made from Cindee Moyer's pattern "Beatrice". I never did make Beatrice but came up with many different versions of the pattern. I call them "big bottomed gals"!

The next photos (below) are from a pattern from Patti Culea's Creative Cloth Doll Making book.

I am from Michigan and took sewing lessons in March just so I could make Beatrice. I keep on going because it is so much fun to imagine and create all these wonderful faces and clothing. Thank you for providing such a wonderful website with such great artists and patterns!

Beth Beglin

Doll Made by   Beth Beglin
of Western Australia

She is Sonja - Witch of the Forest by Sylvia Schorr.
I am a beginner doll maker and she is the third doll that I have made, I live country Western Australia so used fabrics that I had on hand. Her dress and hat are black felt and her blouse and slip are of light weight cotton, and her pumpkin is felt. Her body is pale pink homespun. I used watercolour pencils on her face and followed Patti Culeas advice on facial drawing and colouring. She was a challenge and there are plenty of mistakes but I love the end result.

Dolls Made by   Abi Monroe
of Buffalo Gap, Texas

I am a novice to the world of cloth art dolls, but wanted to share with you two photos of my first cloth art doll called Willow.   I became interested in the art when I went looking for a book on how to make curtains, and fell in love with Patti Medaris Culea's books: Cloth Doll Making and Creative Cloth Doll Faces.

Willow is created from a pattern in the Creative Cloth Doll Faces book.  I am now working on my third doll! It's become an addiction and a passion!

MEMORIES

Dolls Made by
 
Celia Sullivan, Dolls That Make You Smile., 2008

MEMORIES (remembering sixty years of marriage)
This loving elderly couple is completely hand-made by the artist, with the exception of the bench and their glasses. Both figures are made of cloth, with general and facial needlesculpting. Their faces were drawn by the artist. The hair on both is Tibetan lambs wool, needle felted onto the head and beard. All clothing and the shoes are also hand-made by the artist.
This is a rendition of Bonnie and Mary Ann's pattern.

" Rachel's Tears"
Made by
Estelle Katz

I used a Doll for all Seasons as the basic body pattern, with her head tilted a little and altered her arms so that they would be reaching.  The outift is something that I designed.  Actually, as is usually the case, it sort of worked itself out as I went along.  I did some research on what the clothing looked like in 2000BCE.  Actually one of the best references was an illustrated children's bible.  Lots of pictures.  With the knowledge I gained as a guide in an early Canadian Museum and knowing the climate she lived in I knew she would be dressed in linen.  It is easily grown and spun like wool.  I bought several colours of linen but found that It didn't drape well on the size she is for a head covering.  Have no idea what I used.  Might actually be a piece of silk left over from a painting.  The dress has a drawstring at the neck which was supposed to be tied in the back.  The beads looked so good that I put them in the front.  Something again left over from a project that was the right colour.  Her sandals are soft foam, which I like for shoes.  She is sitting at my daughter's in Toronto, Ontario as that is where the challenge will be and she is totally amazed how realistic her shoes are.

Dude For All Seasons
by Pam of UK

" I made this doll using your lovely free pattern of a dude for all seasons. I used your basic body pattern, and then I made the coat (and hat) from pure silk using a crazy quilt pattern, I then added some old keys to the front of his coat and.........here he is!
I had fun making him as i love crazy quilting, and the silk I have is really lovely,.... "
