I finished this quail last night. She will be part of my summer shop update in a few weeks. She is one of bird designs that does not stand on wire legs. I put a smooth stone inside while I stuffed her so she sits up nicely. And I love making the crest on this…

parrot (one more time)
For many years I have been a strong admirer of dollmaker Shelly Thornton. What I love most about her dolls is their stuffed hair. Take a look at this doll, Eva, and you will see what I'm talking about. Instead of making hair from traditional materials, like yarn or string or even torn fabric, she…
