Catinka is a whimsical creature about 19 inches tall.
Lady
Catherine now lives in Moscow Russia. At
the request of her owner I handmade this box so she can travel in
style .
Lady
Delphinia was kind enough step inside of
it to let us see how it will look when occupied. I can make a box
for
your doll too. If you're interested please email or call me.
This
little "Peddler" is featured in Early American Life
"Grodner
Tal" dolls. Also known
an "Peg or
Penny Wooden" and "Tuck Comb," are not being reproduced in hand carved
wood today possibly because they require a great deal more carving than
Queen Anne style dolls.
Early
craftsman in the Grodner Tal region
stopped making these dolls
because as time went on the carving became simpler and simpler and they
became scorned by serious wood craftsmen. I think it is time to bring
these delightful little ladies back into the spotlight and give them
the respect they deserve as charming examples of early doll making.
This little peddlar is featured in Early
American Life
