I have a very dear friend, whom lately celebrated her birthday, and knowing
she is very fond of all things Jane Austen, I desided to create ,for her,
a Jane -doll-
I found a face from the period,- in my collection of purchased digital sheets,- which
is often used to illustrate the figures in Jane Austen`s stories.
It was transferred to fabric, and then made to a 3-d head.
Her body was drawn freehand, sewn and dressed in ,something
likely to have been worn, back in late 1700- first 1800.
You can`t se it but she is wearing lovely under wear,
and the bonnet was a must from that time. I had to have a
little bling ,too :-)
I gave her a little collection, of Jane-quotes in her hand , from the same
digital sheet, as her face.
I love to read them, and smile !!!
DEAREST FRIENDS, WITH THIS, OLD LOVELY, TEACUP,
FILLED WITH A REAL BIRDS NEST AND SOME EGGS,
I WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY EASTER.
We miss the sun here, but hopefully it will soon be back,
to brighten the days of spring.
Thank you for visiting and for commenting, it means
so very much to me.
Hugs and love, Dorthe

Amazingly beautiful. Such a "Little Treasure" to cherish. Do we ever out grow a special doll? I think not. Your face is perfect for the wonderful laces you have chosen. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Easter.

Det er bare så utroligt, hvad du har af ideer og ikke mindst evnen til at få det til at blive så fantastisk. Det er altid spændende at se, hvad du nu har fået kreeret. Fortsat god påske med eller uden sol.

You perfectly captured the essence of Jane Austen, with her sweet face, bonnet and beautiful dress, oh my word this is fabulous! Then the little book of quotes, such attention to detail.

Happy Easter Dorthe!
Your Jane Austen doll is so very dear! I love her dress and how you made her bonnet, and her face. She really looks perfect for the time period and gives a real JA feel. The little tags are so cute too! You make the most lovely dolls! I am sure your friend is going to be over the moon about her! ; )
Your tea cup and nest is wonderful too and speaks of spring.

Dear Dorthe
Your friend is so lucky to get such a beautiful doll.
You did a great job in designing and her face is so pretty.
You are very talented Dorthe and i am always surprised to see what came out of your hands.
Take care and have a lovely Easter with your family.

OH Dorthe ♥ your Jane doll is so beautiful and what a treasure of a gift for your special friend!
Her sparkly necklace suits her and her lovely little book is such fun too.
Your transfer worked brilliantly along with how you fashioned her body.
When my mother made her little dolls she always gave them pretty underwear too :-) She would have so enjoyed your doll creations and everything you do.
Happy to have some time to catch up with you my dear friend.
Having our son home has not left me much time for myself helping him get ready for his hiking trip and enjoying his company too.
Lots of cooking also LOL.

Hello there my friend! I have returned from my visit with family and had to stop in to see your beautiful doll! Your work is so extraordinary Dorthe! Oh my goodness I love all the sweet details you've added to her - The lovely swiss-dot fabric dress, shawl and bonnet seem period perfect. Just right for the early 1800 century; and the little picture book and quotes is delightful! She is wonderful Dorthe~ Peace and blessings to you dear friend~ Karen O
Absolutely charming - what a perfect tribute to one of my favourite writers!

Such a beautiful doll Dorthe - she is treasure and you have worked your magic here with all the beautiful details. I love her! And such a clever idea to include the little packet of Jane quotes... I have read all her books and loved them all!
