Materials & Construction
The base body fabric and stuffing I buy new, but I like to re-use & recycle whenever possible, so various fabrics and trim are sourced - some new, some from used garments, for 'clothing' and decoration. In the same way, I use lace, trim, beads, and jewellery gleaned from many places! Hair is often a chunky acrylic yarn, but can be a silky bambook yarn, or other fancy threads. I use paints, chalks, varnish (for a shiny boots look) and glue.
My dolls are made with button-jointed hips and shoulders, allowing for some movement for sitting and moving the arms. The knees and elbows are also designed to give a small amount of movement.
Note: This is not a toy and shouldn't be given to children to play with. You cannot take it apart or brush the hair.
Shipping
I will always re-use boxes and packaging whenever I can. Because of this, you may find that the box your art doll arrives in is made from 2 boxes... It will always be strong and secure, well taped and covered in brown paper. Inside, your doll will be cushioned with whatever suitable packaging I'm using in the moment.
