How Dolldrums dolls are made :
The dolls are made for 100%wool roving using a technique called needle felting. You begin with a ball of fluffy wool then jab a felting needle into the wool thousands of times until it firms up and shapes into the object you are forming. In my case a head, body and arms!. The eyes are painted and customers can chose either glass eyes or glastic/acrylic eyes.
The clothes are all hand made and hand sewn.
Clay pet shoes and accessories are made from polymer clay and paper clay and are all hand sculpted and hand painted.
Each doll is a true One Of A Kind.
Some people request a "similar" doll but please be aware that no two dolls will be identical.
I really like to let a doll create itself and prefer to work this way, but I am always happy to do a caricature or likeness of someone as a doll.
