Thanks for the handy joint information concerning wood dolls. The doll noses look the same as the "old timer" woodworkers made, although you have whittled a much better longer waistline on your dolls. Thanks for using your super duper talents to make reproduction Grodnertal dolls.
Thanks very much Raine...the clothes will be a challenge for me, I have got some remnants, including a silk curtain, so fingers crossed they will look a quarter as good as your lovely dolls.
This series is wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for. I love these dolls and have been admiring them for years. I would love to own one, but could never afford one. So I want to make my own. I am very crafty and learned woodwirking in school. The only thing holding me back is my health. I have been bedridden for years and have been unable to go about my greatest love in life (crafting) for 10 years now. (It breaks my heart) All I can do at the moment is research, collect information and materials and continue hoping and praying that I may soon get to craft some of the projects I have been dreaming up and preparing for over the years😂 Anyways, what I wanted to ask is if you still have those measurements you made of the dolls. Since I have never had the pleasure to handle one I would have to crudely guess at the measurements. I would be extremely thankful if you would be so kind as to send me the measurements. I would so love to be able to hold one of these glorious dolls before I die. ❤ Imagine how much fun it must be to sew for them! I guess that would be something I might be able to do by hand in bed. But to get to that I will have to get better first anyways.🤯 oh well, never give up hope!😊
Great to know about the shrinkage with the wet and dry wood. The dolls are coming on a treat now, I look forward to the next episode. Take care, regards, Chris.
