Nina Angelina …
Little Nina Angelina is a One-of-A-kind art doll and entirely made by hand. No moulds were used in her creation and none made of the original afterwards. She comes with her swing, a Photo Certificate of Authenticity and her very own story book with her story in it … Nina was sold before i even finished writing her story, and she is off to live with a very lovely lady who is hoping to travel the world with her …
Nina’s swing was made from wire, and decorated with beads, thread, ribbon, flowers and a little key hanging from a chain. It has a ring at the top, so it can be hung, and a heart shaped seat for Nina to perch upon, with a ribbon to hold her safely in place …
On one hand Nina is holding a little friend, a clay and wire bird, hand painted with a wire beak, her other hand can be attatched to the arm of the swing with a ribbon around her wrist.
Nina’s head was sculpted from clay and painted with acrylic paint before being sealed with a matt varnish for protection.Her hair is made with wool and decorated with a wire headpiece decorated with beads and flowers.
Her body was also sculpted from clay over wire, and her limbs from wood and clay with bead and ribbon joints to enable movement. All her clothes are also hand-made and hand stitched by me. She wears white lace stockings with bead decoration and a lilac voile dress, with a long ruff trail, also decorated with lots of hand sewn beads and ribbons. Her arms have more voiles and ribbons and bead details on them, and she is wearing a pair of ballet pumps on her feet.
on her back are a pair of hand made white feather wings…

I am working on a commission for Jo and Jen…
I am busy working on a commissioned art doll for Jo from Jo Letchford Mosaics, the Old High Street, Folkestone ( wonderful mosaics…go see! www.joletchfordmosaics.co.uk )– for her daughter Jen, and two new art dolls
they are now finished…so keep moving down the page to see them … All three are now SOLD
here they are from almost the beginning after I had made the faces etc…coming to life…
working on her clothes…she will have a skirt!!!!
she is finished…and as I went on, she told me her story which I will write down, but as I worked, and she came more and more to life, she was very vocal about what her clothes needed to look like… for example I wondered why she insisted on the little cross/ dagger hanging against her chest, which had to be visible and the leather high collar that encased her neck, and the leather armor around vulnerable pulse points…then i realised…she is a vampire hunter… and her needs became clear…
a hand cross-bow with stakes
her crow 
hidden hand-held stakes
a silver bladed knife
an assortment of stakes for her crossbow..silver, wooden, wood with silver ….
and a very serious looking whip with silver chains 
and a travel bag with all her other necessary vampire hunting equipment…the bag closes and opens.
and contains removable items…bible, hand held stakes, a wooden mallet, a wooden cross, a silver cross and holy water in bottles 
All three come with their own story in a little book, and a certificate of authenticity…these ones are Clara’s, the vampire hunter.
ready for the fight…bringing death to the undead!
Then I turned my attention to this little lady who was equally vocal …she is the Morrigan from celtic myth
and when she saw her friends amor she insisted on her own, but in a very different style, with crow claw-like fierce boots, leather, chains, metal chest and back plates…
her crow 
she has a feathered shoulder piece, a crow skull head-piece, and a bone stick / baton through her hair…
she is all done and ready for the battle fields!
And … the boy…
Mr. Messori, Felix to his friends!
I made the fabric for his jacket and topper from cotton, feathers, leather, various pieces of chain and links, ribbon, suede and lots and lots of stitching!
His motto written on black card , tucked into the ribbon trim on his hat and a close up of his crow…one of his symbols / incarnations even… and the two sides of his face grim / sad …
and happy 
His book – the ars moriendi…leather bound wih tiny little copies of pages of one of the real ones from the library of congress…and a close up of the fabric I made for his skinny fits…
Finially! Keep checking in and I will add their stories- I am cluching a biro and scribbling as I type this!
