Jane - a folk art doll

Jane is a larger folk art doll. She is inspired by the writer Jane Austen but is not meant as a portrait.

She is made using hand dyed linen and is filled with a mix of British wool and fabric scraps. I only use natural materials in my doll making.

She has a painted 'bodice', gently aged. She wears hand stitched clothing - cotton pantaloons beneath her cotton skirt. On her wrists and ankles are lace and vintage button details sewn on. She also wears a knitted collar/shawl - this has been knitted using my own hand spun yarn (Hill Radnor wool). The collar is fastened with a special embroidery brooch I made especially for Jane.

Jane's hair is British wool, carefully stitched in place. She has a hand stitched face.

Jane will come with a signed tag detailing her materials.

This one of a kind folk art doll is a collector's item and not a toy for small children. She is designed to sit and be a good companion. She would be happy amongst other dolls, antique bears etc...

Jane measures approx: 40cm tall

POSTAGE
All dolls will be packaged carefully and sent as small parcels - this does mean I need to charge more for postage than a flat artwork might be. I will make use of recycled materials for packaging, where possible. Thank you for your understanding.
