Purplecats' tiny dolls!

I have such fun making these! I have always loved Russian dolls ( I have 5 sets) and recently got a Kokeshi doll(japanese), so I decided to have a play with polymer clay. These are 1inch to 1 3/4 inches high, so are really tiny!!

They are for sale in my Etsy shop http://www.purplecatscorner.etsy.com/

Purplecat says thanks!

I really want to thank you, each and everyone of you who have dropped by my blog. I appreciate so much that you took the time to look and am so grateful for all the encouragement you have given me. I feel I can go into the new year knowing I am doing something right! I look forward to making more art.
