Cathy Cullis from November moon makes the most detailed mixed media dolls, little paper, fabric and yarn dolls with exquisite details and personality. check them out.

This one is (red shoes)’ is a mixed media artwork with fine handmade detailing - much of the papier mache unpainted as I really wanted it to be about the use of old pages from a book … Manipulating the page into a dress is an interesting process. One I’ve only just started to explore, really. I’m stitching the paper on to the doll, rather than using glue. I try to not use glue on my work, unless absolutely necessary (papier mache is an exception of course).

Miranda and Morton ‘arrived’ over the past few days. No matter how many dolls I make, I still like to take my time over them, adding the details so they are just so. …

‘grey girl house’ - I started on a doll - inspired by a beautiful grey linen I have in my fabric collection/stash. I knew I wanted her all grey, something enigmatic about that, … Grey is not a dull hue, I love how it works by itself and with different shades.

Jade Pegler’s work with paper and textiles combines a range of techniques including papiermache, bookbinding, hand and machine stitching, collage and origami - she lives in Wollongong, Australia - which is by the sea and not far from the big city.

She has a wide range of work - from fabric and mixed media, to wonderful whimsical drawings, to altered books and paper sculptures. There is something in her work that speaks of nature, the environment - is it her unbleached fabrics, worn and weathered papers, and organic forms.

these are stuffed drawings - more textiles

this is an inside out book

sculptural piece from a series titled desolation row made of papier mache, wood, wire, more paper, fabric and threads, in a show in Sydney titled IT”S PAINTING SO IT MUST BE GERMAN.
