Bubbles


I've been really busy with all my new designs. This is BUBBLES and is rather like a variation of the Rainbow Dancers, using the I Love Mermaids as the basis of the dolls, and altering a bit to look good. I'm really happy with them. They were lots of fun to make . I also made some painted as well, which was quicker than making the little suffolk puff boobs.
On my website now, for purchase.

Bella & her Bunny


I'm continuing on with my exploration of the classic rag doll. Bella has wool hair, and I topstitched her fingers. I have added a little bunny...she'd be just gorgeous for an Easter present.

Sunny's Garden


Here's my newest pattern...so new, I have only just finished the instructions, and still awaiting the printing. She really came alive when I put her hair up in pony tails...up until then, she was missing something. She's about 27 inches tall, so quite big. The pattern also has instructions for the flowers and the snail and worm.

Rainbow Dancers


Rainbow dancers are gorgeous little 12 inch

dancers in a fixed pose position. The set shown is a set I made for Pearl frrom Singapore, who had previouisly bought some dolls from me from one of my Craftworld stores.

I now have some of these for sale at:

my Etsy shop http://www.redhendesignsnz.etsy.com

my Artfire shop http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&seller_id=17636

my daWanda shop http://en.dawanda.com/shop/RedHenDesignsNZ

The pattern for this design is on mt website http://www.redhendesigns.co.nz/rainbow-dancers-xidp202102.html

They are very easy to make, and use very little in the way of supplies. Look great as a set and also as individuals.

Teatime with Ted


I'm enjoying palaying with the rag doll / raggedy doll idea at the moment. I really like the infinite possibilities. For this doll, I have tied the 'hair' to the head by using short lengths of thin satin ribbon. The dress has a contrast heart panel.
It's amazing that such a simple face is so effective...the face seemed to come alive after adding the white dot to the eyes and blush to the cheeks.
I'll get the pattern done as soon as possibele

New Pattern - My Little Sister


I've finally managed to get a photo taken out in the garden of my soon-to-be released pattern, MY LITTLE SISTER. Now to get the instructions written up!!!


She is a good sized little girl with huge head, hands and feet and little skinny arms and legs, and a little body.

The pattern will also feature the little dolls as well.

I should have her ready for sale by the end of February.
