       I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet and get to know some other, very talented, doll makers since beginning my journey.  It is my pleasure to be able to showcase some of the pieces they have available here.  Inquiries and comments on their work will be passed along to the artists.

   Additional artists coming soon so please stop back!

 
 

Julia Cooper

 

 

  

   Julia is the wonderful creator and neighbor who originally urged me to take a Santa making class and she continues to encourage me to this day! 

   Her creation (pictured left) is a wonderful Santa piece.  Julia is a master of fabric and accessories and her work has an elegance and style all its own. 

   This piece is wearing a gown of blue silk with a shimmering of other tones when it moves.  The over coat is a tapestry fabric of blue spruce and pinecones, berries, and golden threads.   Luxuriously trimmed in velvet and lace the costume is just wonderful.

 

     This Victorian inspired Santa holds a collectible mohair Teddy Bear wearing a matching collar, glass pinecone ornaments, and a sack full of greens, berries, and other matching accessories.  Angora Mohair is used for his curling beard.

   The piece she calls Olde World Santa (for short, Edward)  is mounted on a wire and dowel armature and stands 28" tall.

$375

 
 

   

   You don't see a Santa like this everyday!  An Autumn themed Santa titled "Autumn Bounty," Calvert carries a basket laden with fall flowers, gourds, and berries.  A pot of golden silk flowers in held in his arms.

   His rough textured garments and straw hat are in hues of brown and hints of orange and blue.  Despite their rough texture and material, the flow of his outfit still give a feeling of grace and elegance to the piece.   

   At 28" he is mounted on a wood, dowel, and wire armature.

    $350
