Rhagdolls by Trese MacKay

tucked in into a far and forgotten corner of the wood, was a cabin that had become one with the forest. she has been there since she could walk. she mutters every now and then with only crows to listen, 'too long in the woodlands.' Gran Elswyth

the elusive wild fey, Sleeka, meaning shells, back from his Highland Yuletide holiday. Wrapped in his version of a kilt and the bag-sleeved shirt of the Celts.

moving right along... the next Wild Fey...

kinoko: Japanese, noun: mushroom.

today brought to you by almost 2 pots of high test coffee and damp poor weather!

blessing on this the winter solstice!

the next doll in the Wild Fey series is Tuuli

Tuuli: a girl's name of Finnish origin. This nature inspired name will help baby follow her own path with a definition of "wind."

sitting in the studio, trying to work updating the production list... and this happens. there is something about my coffee today that Miss Chex Minx has to have. 'mom. mom. whats in the cup?' mine!?'

having input all 32 set of Travelers outfits in the database, and you ctrl B to remove the odd bold spaces... and Excel hangs... wait for it... wait for it... will i loose all the data? no. i just turned it all BOLD. save first. then un-bold...

the exciting side of doll world...

anyone who knows me knows how much i love color. i feel it. i smell it. i eat, breath and sleep color. tho, pastels have there place.

finished all the Travelers for this coming season. in a whirlwind of colors!

scarbi 2024. 20th anniversary for rhagdolls.

today here at Doll World HQ, it is a grey blustery day. think my morning walk will be to the Buzzed Brumby for a latte. then it's time to cut all the bright shiny Bengaline fabric into skirts for Queens! the apple green is amazing brilliant!

the newest in regal fashion!

sew, this year many of my special one of a kind mid~sized dolls are the Wild Fey. they live in lost, forgotten places or hide in plain sight. they make their cloths from scraps left out by a kindly tailor. some Fey create human looks, some try and almost manage.

the latest two: Mutze of the fabulous hat, and Strix who as a child was sent to the monks for being, well, odd, and a little green. but he loved his robes...

finished Mutze, a wild fey yesterday, built around a pieced hat in black and gold. add a handful of itty MOP buttons. today i ran across a pix of an owl, a screech owl, a Strix Acio.

strix means screech. ok... owl... brown, cream... wisdom... alb and hood... monk... tonsure... Goes and rummages in the box of linen again....

oh, shirt! having made all the Cadet cover~alls, and planned the shirt and hats, it was time to work on the bathroom project for the next professional aided step. in the 3 or 4 days the shirt pattern went for a game of hide and seek. really?

found it! made a master copy, as i didnt have one, and cut a new usable copy...

Erasmus, my guard gnome sent an update that things are again quiet on the Festival site. here he is enjoying a well deserved ale!

and for my next act of daring do, i will now take a rick~rack cutter blade to cloth. and as if by magic, i wish, 20 set of Cadet cover alls will appear...
the the news boy hats and shirts...
