Dollmakers on Thursday. Return to Nevermore

And this would have gone out on Thursday

if it hadn't been for the interweb.

I had a LOVELY man come and fix it

who worked all afternoon,

 despite high temperatures,humidity 

snakes and the fact that our phone line 

is 6 thousand feet longer than it should be...

He is a true hero.

Back to the post.

I'm a huge fan of 

Nevermore Art Dolls

by Georgina.

I featured her dolls here.

And now I have one!

I'm so thrilled!

So, I'm inviting you to share

the deboxing

(yes, it's a word!)

of Maud and Luscius.

Maud came all the way from England

securely wrapped and packed

in a box.

With a Nevermore Dolls sticker

and lot of padding to keep her comfy.

Georgina hand-made and printed

cards to accompany Maud

that tell her sweet little story.

I really love the photograph of Maud's sweet face

and the fancy embossed  cut-outs.

With Maud, came Luscius the Snail,

Maud's book, her treasures in a glass bottle

and pretty cushions to lounge on.

See the green speckles on Luscius' back?

Now, a teaser shot,

just to show you the lovely tag

tied to Maud's elbow.

And here she is, reclining on the bubble wrap.

Isn't she lovely?

What you can't tell from the photograph 

is how lovely she feels

when I pick her up.

She made of resin

from Georgina's own moulds

and had a lovely smooth finish

and weight in the hand.

Here is her daydreamy face.

And here is the detail of her headdress.

Look at the seed beads sewn into the braid!

Maud really is a very lovely doll

and I'm very lucky to have her.

Georgina is a wonderful doll maker

who makes imaginative and 

intriguing dolls.

See her shop on Etsy.

To see new dolls see

I need to make Maud a sofa.

She's getting a little tired of living in the box.
