She rules her kingdom from a shiny 2008 penny. 1 inch tall, embroidery floss & wire.
The Queen is made entirely of embroidery floss, save for a tiny wire in each arm. I wrap the thread into a tiny ball for the head, leaving a tail that I glue to the torso (to become her neck & spinal column). She gets her costume one strand of floss at a time. Her skirt is formed over the tip of an empty mechanical pencil.

Made from toothpicks and embroidery floss. His staff is sculpted out of clay and handpainted, with flecks of glitter powder & orange gems set into it.
This wizard stands 3 inches tall, but his presence is commanding, nonetheless! He wears a tunic of multiple tones of orange that laces at his neck. Flames shoot from the hem of his black cloak.

Made from toothpicks & embroidery floss. Three inches tall.
This elven lady wears a gold tunic over a russet skirt & cream chemise. Her favorite part of her dress is her apron, made of 3 overlapping leaves crafted from embroidery floss. Pointed elf ears peek out from behind her long auburn hair. The top of her hair is one of my favorite things about her - it's designed in a full-crown braid that covers the top & back of her head, ending in a large bun encircled by more braids.

Christmas Ornament. Made of toothpicks & embroidery floss. 3 inches tall.
Note: Although he is as charming as all princes should be, this Nutcracker will object if you actually try to crack a nut in his mouth. Please refrain.
The Nutcracker's face is made, quite painstakingly, from hand-cut bits of archival-quality cardstock. His teeth are drawn with white paint. His eyebrows are actually single strands of thread, stiffened. The jewel on his hat may be either red or gold, as the individual Nutcracker chooses.
NOTE: As each doll is handmade, slight variations are to be expected.

This angel has curly hair (embroidery floss), and holds a miniature holly wreath. The holly berries are actually tiny glass microbeads. Her wings are made from Angelina fibers, beautiful gold & silver fibers that bond together when heated into a glistening, stiff fabric. A thin green ribbon loop is her ornament hanger.
NOTE: As each doll is handmade, slight variations are to be expected.

I've always loved the Old World St. Nicholas, and this is my version, in toothpicks! Fluffy beard, Christmas Red cloak, and a pointed cap make this St. Nick a classic. A miniature white pom-pom adorns the tip of his snug red cap. A thin green ribbon loop is his ornament hanger.
NOTE: As each doll is handmade, slight variations are to be expected. St. Nick is available with white or black skin. Please contact me to let me know your preference.

The colorful, striped skirt is just the start of this raven-haired gypsy's wild costume.

Her skirt is nearly covered in loops of threads & braids, and colorful ribbons twist through her mess of curls. Close up your purse & hide the silver!
