I am often contacted by visitors who would like to buy dolls they have seen in the picture galleries. But all of these dolls have been made as part of projects or have been pre-ordered a long time before they were made. Due to lack of time I only make a very limited number of dolls each year, but I have decided to make some of these dolls available on Feltmaking.com as "Doll of the month".

The doll has been sold

The doll of the month for September is actually two dolls – a mother and a child. The idea for them came, as many times before, from the wool. I have made many different animals with this kind of wool and then suddenly these two beings grew out of the wool. It is lamb´s wool from my favorite kind of sheep - the “spelsau”.

The body shape is a cylinder and on that I have needled the chosen, most beautiful stables of spelsau wool and then the face is needled in the middle of all that wool and the hands and the feet. After the mother was finished I imagined how it would look with a little child that was standing close to her - and as you see this small being is a little shy as shown by the finger at the mouth.

As usual it was such a nice experience to find the best place out in nature to make the photos of the dolls. I wanted to try to find a way to show how the little one was dependant of the mother, so one of the photos shows the child far away from the mother so you can nearly hear it cry out for “Mother…….”, and on the others the child keeps close to mother. The size of the mother is 21 cm and the child is 10 cm.

The price is $ 255 (USD) and this includes shipping. Only the one dolls is available so if you click on the order-link and the dolls has already been sold you will get an error message.
