The inspiration for these Lorraine Abernethy Art Dolls comes from the elaborate ornamentation of the
Baroque period and a lifetime's collection of fine
velvets, laces, silks, beaded chiffons, old jewellery,
button boxes and trimmings.

The fabrics, colours, textures and embellishments
make each Lorraine Abernethy Art Doll an exuberant treasure trove, dancing accross the centuries. Chic, theatrical, jaunty - these dolls will charm you with their
look of another time.

There's one or more here, for collectors of all ages
and interests. And they're made in New Zealand.

New Work - Hey Doll, Exhibition


Strelitzia Fuoco
This is the doll that I made for Patti Culea's latest book- 'Creative Cloth Doll Beading'. When Patti asked me to contribute to her gallery of dolls and dollmakers, she so generously includes in each of her books, I was thrilled. Have a look at page 53 in the book, there is an explanation on how I beaded her. This book and the other 3 of Patti's are available on amazon.com
