I thought I’d share some wire ladies that I’m taking to Crux Craft Fair this weekend. I’ve really enjoyed making these, and have some ideas for new ladies when I get the time…

Some of the ladies hair is made from scribbles of fishing line washed up on the beach. The coppery hair is made from some thin copper thread which was given to me by Jenny Ayrton who makes the most beautiful glass pieces. The copper thread is from something which gets dropped into the sea, I think to measure depth… I can’t quite remember the details now!

I have a cabinet of curious dolls.  Some I’ve found on the road or the beach, some have been given to me, some I’ve made myself and a few I’ve bought in village craft fairs, charity shops and car boot sales.

So I am really addicted to a facebook page called “doll a day” – it’s right up my street. They post a photo of an odd doll every day with a caption attached. If you like this kind of thing, then take a look HERE – if you don’t like spooky, wierd, eery, freaky dolls then whatever you , don’t look!!!

I should really get some photos of my own freaky dolls from my cabinet, I love them!
