Matchbox Bunny -Maeve






Matchbox Mouse -Percy

I made the matching pillow and blanket after I designed the match box label.  
Making the book label was the easiest part- so I made a couple different ones and put some photos inside.
The cotton material began to fray at the edges so I had to be sure to sew it closed well.

The puppet is Handcrafted in California by Folkmanis, Inc. and I made everything else.
I stuffed the pillow with some of the same fabric so I would not have to worry if a child opens up the pillow.
The matchbox house-bed is 4.75 x 2 x 2.75 inches.

New Folding Dollhouse - Miniature Lithographed Toy - McLoughlin Bros. - C. 1894



French Carousel Circus Miniature

I think miniatures have taken my brain.
Not totally sure why but I have been making miniature toys lately.

Tiny French Carousel Circus- the small one is 4 inches high. 

The inner platform holding the circus performers really rotates.
