The Cheshire Cat.

and here's a picture of the Cheshire cat on his own, to give you an idea of how tiny these dolls are.

Alice in Wonderland Russian Dolls

These were handmade by a russian man and represent some of the characters in Alice in wonderland. They are handpainted with remarkable detail, and signed on the bottom of the outermost doll, I was surprised by how small they are, as Russian dolls are usually slightly larger, but their small size only adds to their beauty.

Miss Belgium Rexard Doll.

This is another Rexard dolld of the world doll in her box, miss belgium.

Made a few changes.

I've changed the blog so there's only 7 posts displayed, so you have to go into the archives to see all my dolls. I've added a random surrealism generator at the bottom, for your amusement and I've had the site checked for evil, you'll be relieved to find the site is more good than evil.
I also have a couple of new dolls to add once I've photographed them, a set of handmade Alice in wonderland Russian dolls, and another boxed rexard doll .
There is now a link to a shallow pool dolls site ( I have a few in my collection) and a link to my other blog in the sidebar too.

Andy Warhol.

Here's an Andy Warhol collectors doll I got on ebay, he's never been taken out his box, and is numbered. I love his cambells soup T-shirt

The Cream Maiden Shallowpool doll.

Here's The Dairy Maid, I love the bowl of cream she's holding.

I've just found out these dolls are called "shallowpool dolls" and there's a site detailing their origins, and the lady who maintains that site is going to add the "Isle Of Wight Series" to her site, I'm linking to it in my sidebar.

Sophie Dawes Shallowpool Doll.

This is Sophie Dawes, here's the card info about her.

"Sophie Dawes was the daughter of a poor Winkle picker of St Helens. After a rather "doubtful" early life she found her way to London where after further adventures, she married a french prince. Murder and intrigue followed until she was forced to return to England where she died, disgraced, in 1845.
The House where she lived in St.Helens can still be seen."
