DOLL MOULDS FOR SALE

After some 30 years in the Doll Industry I have decided to reduce my workload and sell most of my moulds.
Included in the moulds for sale will be MODERN DOLLS which include in most cases head, shoulder plates, arms and legs. Some of the dolls are the earliest dolls that were made for sale and competition.  These moulds include collectable modern dolls that started straight after French and German market fell and
the US market took over.

In offering these moulds for sale I would be most happy to assist the buyer in training to pour, clean, fire,paint and finish the doll.Further assistance can be given in dressing the dolls for sale or competition.

DOLL COLLECTION

QUILTS

BABY QUILLO OR COT QUILT

You can use it for a child to visit grandmas and lay on the floor on the quilt. You can go travelling and use it
anywhere in the car, going places, sitting on it, sleeping with it, resting on a lounge or chair putting it over you
when the air gets chilly.  A wonderful gift for a child at Xmas, birthdays and later an heirloom for their children. It will never date what child is not fascinated with Sea Creatures.  The quillo is an actual cot size large quillo that is why no extra pillow is needed to pad it up looking like a pillow. You can leave it as a deco feature on the lounge or chairs, take it in the car on trips, holidays or sit bub on the floor at grandmas house.  You can even use it to change bub?  Whatever the use a quillo is so practical.









First of all I will show pics of how I started and then finished!

XMAS GIFT SUGGESTION

I have been working very hard to put together some very special gift ideas for Xmas.










I have come up with a range of gifts that have been crafted by myself so that each item is a one off collectors item. The recipient of these items would I believe cherish them as a keepsake and would appreciate the thoughts behind the gift.

QUILLOS




I found embroidery panels from years ago that I made when I purchased my first computerised embroidery machine. So I decided to make a one-off quillo out of those panels.  The large clown on the front was
on the CD of embroideries that came with the machine software and all the small ones were blocks I created using my quilting software and embroidery machine. I looked into my stash of materials I had horded throughout the years to complete the project.
 Firstly I created a cot quilt out of the panels and material and then secondly turning it into a quillo to make it more appealing. I also made a pillow that is inserted into the quillo so that if you are going anywhere you have a pillow and a quilt.
