Where can I buy one of your dolls ?
All of my dolls that I make for sale are posted here on my website on this page HERE
A couple of days before they are up for sale, I post pictures of them on my Instagram, Facebook, and Flickr pages. You can follow my work on these pages. When I have a doll that is available to buy I also send out a Newsletter. You can subscribe for Newsletter HERE.
I take only 3 or 4 custom orders every year to leave enough space to make my own creations, therefore I can not guarantee that I have space for a custom order for you.
Unfortunately, I can not take any more custom orders for a while, and there will be no more dolls for sale until later in the spring in 2021.
If you are crafty, you could get one of my DOLL MAKING TUTORIALS and create a dolly. I have READY MADE DRESSES available to purchase to dress your doll.
How do I order a doll?
Unfortunately, I can not take any more custom orders for now. Please follow my Facebook or Instagram pages or Subscribe for my Newsletters if you wish to know when a doll become available.
Once a doll is ready I post information and images of the doll. This is usually a day before the doll becomes available to purchase.
How much do they cost?
More traditional looking Waldorf inspired dolls with yarn hair and more simple faces, cost £340- £420 depending on how much
clothes they have, how big they are and what I use for hair.
When I use yarn for hair, it takes longer to make dolls with straight hair than with curly hair, so the ones with straight hair are a bit more expensive.
The basic price you see below includes one dress and underpants with the doll. The baby doll would come with a nappy and a romper.
Additional clothes, knitted or leather booties or a jacket can be available for an additional charge.
14" Traditional dolls with yarn hair from £360(curly), from £390 (straight)
16" Traditional dolls with yarn hair from £410(curly), from £440 (straight)
15" Traditional Baby Waldorf doll from £470 (brushed mohair yarn hair, straight)
13.5" Traditional baby Waldorf doll from £420 (brushed mohair yarn hair, straight)
Art dolls with more detailed, sculpted faces and legs, and the hair made using animal hair:
12" from £650
14-15" from £720
16-17" from £ 820
The prices of art dolls depend on what I use for hair and how much clothes the doll has.
Receantly I have been making more dolls with traditional, more simple faces and hair made using animal hair, like alpaca hair,
mohair or curly Wensleydale locks or commertial mohair weft.
If I use Animal fibre for hair instead of yarn, your doll will be £60-90 more depending on what I use for hair.
Waldorf Inspired dolls with simple faces and wefted hair made using anymal hair:
12" from £450
14" from £480
16" from £530
This includes only a dress and underpants, extra clothes can be added for additional charges.
The base price depends on what I use for the hair.
If I add weight to a doll it is an additional £25. I normally use glass beads for weight.
You can see pictures of my recent work on Flickr or on Instagram .
Where are you located?
I am located in the United Kingdom. My dolls are posted from near the Welsh border from a small town called Hereford.
What are your dolls made of?
My dolls are all handcrafted using entirely natural
materials.
For my more traditional Waldorf dolls the hair can be
made of mohair boucle yarn( curly hair )or brushed
mohair yarn(straight hair) that are designed for doll
making.
Sometimes I also use animal fibres for creating hair for
my dolls with more traditional faces.
For my natural fibre art dolls, I use animal fibres or
brushed mohair yarn crocheted into a cap. The animal
fibres I make into a weft and then into a wig. This is a
lengthy, time consuming process. For this, I normally
use Alpaca hair, angora mohair Pickwick wool or
Teeswater locks.
Some dolls that have wefted hair are not suitable for
little hands, they are more suitable for older children (
from the age of 7 ) or as a collectable item.
The outer fabric of my more traditional Waldorf dolls consists of good quality, strong cotton Swiss stockinet to make them last for a long time.
This fabric is designed for doll making. It has OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 class 1 certificate. The Swiss stockinet comes in various skin tones.
For my organic dolls, I use GOTS tested organic jersey. This I only have in a pale skin tone. For my art dolls I sometimes use Witte Engel Skin Fabric.
Inside, my dolls are filled with sheep's wool which makes these lovely dolls warm and soft.
For special requests, I can use organic wool for filling the doll.
Most of my traditional Waldorf dolls have a nose, (which is not how a Waldorf doll is originally made) as most of the time people
request this if they are given the choice. However, I can make the dolls with a more simple face without a nose as well.
The basic outfit for my dolls is a dress or top, and underpants and trousers or bloomer. You may order additional dresses HERE.
They are ready made and can be posted in a day or two.
The eyes and the mouth of the dolls are embroidered using cotton embroidery floss. Mostly I use DMC.
