Lavender's Blue: February 2012

Dolls made to order

Lavenders Blue range of Waldorf Steiner inspired dolls include; knitted body pocket dolls, sack dolls, simple formed cloth dolls and large knitted body dolls.

Traditionally dolls are made with a specific child in mind. The colours of the dolls features and/or body are made to emulate that child. These individually crafted and considered details make each doll unique to it's owner and a relationship is formed between child and doll.

"For a child, play is their work and just as a craftsman cannot achieve good results with inferior materials so children need toys with integrity if they are to find play satisfying".

"A handcrafted doll is one-of-a-kind, an individual which carries the spirit of the maker in its stitches and absorbs the spirit of the child who loves it". Maricristin Sealey, Making Waldorf Dolls.
