The Bird Gerhls - Four New Dolls
I can't seem to get away from this bird motif...it wasn't planned, but I will readily submit. Below are the photos of my most recent dolls, and I'll be announcing the details of my shop update shortly (it's looking like Sunday). I'll also be posting links to the shop listings so you can see prices and details in advance of the update itself.
Wren lives on a windswept outcrop where she feeds gulls from her hand and mostly keeps to herself. The villagers think she's a witch. I guess when you sequester yourself, wear vaguely victorian clothing and talk to birds, you're sort of poking the hive...
Gretchen is taller than every boy she's ever met and stronger, too. She can only fit swallow eggs on her head, but she's channeling Ostrich all the way.
If there was a ballet called 'Bluebird' it would star Maeve. But she wouldn't eat wet kleenex or stab the other dancers or get up to any of that other weirdo ballerina behaviour. She'd make them all a nice cup of tea and offer up embroidered hankies.
Gisele is the weird one, let's be frank. She's a little bit gawky, a little bit of a bird herself. But she's fiercely loyal and can put up her dukes and when she gets into scraps defending one of the Bird Gerhls, she doesn't even get a run in her stockings.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM! the first one is my fav.... (now I want one!!!!) I`ll get one this year for sure!!!!!!!! love love love! :D
Oh Sarah, I can't resist. I think I love these ones best of all. So beautiful. And I have to point out that Wren is living my (former) dream life. Which Catherine cruelly recast as a Japanese horror film, but still. The cliff by the sea, etc. All she needs is a daughter, with equally long hair and similarly obsolete clothes. Truly, so odd and gorgeous, every one of them.
ooh they are so lovely Sarah, i think they are my favourite of your dolls yet (except for my own Esmé-Smilla). Gisele is my favourite, her hair and clothing is amazing, and her eyes special. and those stockings, awww! ♥
best wishes to you,
Annina
They are absolutely beautiful. They've got such expressive faces... they look like pretty little ghosts!
They are all so beautiful and characterful :). One day I fancy you'll awaken to discover some of these have awoken and stolen away to their lives as you describe them!
I always get excited to see your new dolls and how you develop. I love that you are creating your own glass eyes, they add another depth to these beautiful creatures. I adore the palette you're using too. They're absolutely wonderful!!!!!
