Who knew?
After meeting hundreds of people at the Artisan Centre Hands On Festival last month, I though over what I learned from the experience. Many people loved the redheaded fabric doll, as do I! Here is the people's fave. Waldorf doll number one. There was also interest expressed in buying a doll for a small child. My dolls fall into the Fine Art category, but I decided that it would be worthwhile to create some very basic classic Waldorf dolls and offer them at a much lower price. Accordingly, I set out to create a simple doll pattern and clothing, timing very closely and costing very exactly. It turns out the clothes take twice as long as the doll! I am also thinking about teaching how to make a doll, and I would like to start with the classic Waldorf doll, since it can be made relatively quickly and inexpensively. Here are photos of the first Waldorf doll I made. They will be offered for sale at the Artisan Fair on November 2 at Mark Street United Church here in Pete...
