Faerie Dolls

The lively faces you see here are the doll designs produced bt Melinda with inspiration from folklore and mythology. To our benefit, most of these playful beings are fond of mortals who are honest; especially poets, musicians, gardeners, seamstresses, skilled craftsmen and, no doubt doll collectors and miniature enthusiasts.

Miniature Faerie Dolls

The Gentry is the polite Irish name for the faeries because they think of themselves as aristocrats and prefer this respectful title, or a familial one such as "the wee folk" or "the Gude Neebors." Each freckled companion is a hand-crafted, five-inch tall, personal expression.  All the dolls featured here have hands, feet and faces in porcelain, are cast from molds of the artist's original clay sculpture, then fired, china painted, and assembled on a soft body with a wire armature, making them posable.
