Moxie Update

I have been busy preparing to go to Adelaide on December 3 to teach. The students will be using my "Moxie" pattern, so I thought I'd better make an example of the doll dressed as a little girl - the original was a fairy. Here she is. The wig is made from a piece of fur fabric....what a bed-head!

Etsy Listings

I have just listed the two dolls pictured here in my Etsy shop (http://www.susiemcmahon.etsy.com/)

Strudelpomme, the apple-elf

This benign little being can sometimes be seen by the astute elf-watcher scavenging in restaurant garbage cans, compost heaps and the like for discarded apple-cores from which the pips are mined. These are carefully saved in his little satchel for later planting where a need is seen.

Announcing!

My friend, Di Arnold, has just started her own blog with her own one-of-a-kind dolls featured. Di's dolls are wonderfully quirky and she has a great sense of colour and design. She's been hiding her light under a bushel for too long. Here is one of her dolls. For more go to her blog at http://www.diarnolddolls.blogspot.com/

...And Another One!

These little dolls are reproducing fast around here. Here's the latest one, and there are more to come......watch this space! These three are all sold.

Meet my Zoziedolls

I have been working on some little dolls that are quick to make, and therefore more affordable to buy. They are still one-of-a-kind. I'm calling them 'Zoziedolls' - I had thought of other cool names to call them, but they were already taken. These little dolls are a little bit Maurice Sendak ("Where The Wild Things Are" - remember that?) and a big bit me. I have a number of other variations that I am still working on. You can find them in my Etsy shop if you are interested at http://www.susiemcmahon.etsy.com/

Old is New

I have been digitally photographing some images of older dolls - long gone to new owners. Here are some of the results: not brilliant photos in terms of clarity, but at least it is a record.
