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.
