For these two little girls, Ema and Martina, preparing for Christmas is like stepping into a winter fairytale - where attic treasures become sparkling ornaments, and each gift is wrapped with dreams and joy! The Nutcracker and the Mouse King was a quiet companion in my childhood, its magic gently woven into the spaces of our home. That thread of wonder has never broken, following me through each Christmas and bridging the past and present with its quiet, enduring charm.
These are free-standing dolls, with proportions resembling a six year old child. Their legs and arms can bend, and they can sit beautifully. The neck can turn sideways, as well as up and down. The entire body is made of wool felt, there are no stuffed parts. I sculpt each face myself from special clay. The whole doll is covered with fabric designed specifically for dollmaking. The eyes are painted with textile paint, and the cheeks are blushed with beeswax crayons. The dolls have natural mohair hair and should be handled gently. I sew each outfit using my own unique patterns and make the shoes from natural leather as well. All three girls from the Autumn series are approximately 45-46 cm (17.3 inches) tall and are intended for ages 12+ or adult doll collectors.
