I am still enjoying my foray into the Art Deco era and here are a rather lovely young couple enjoying pre dinner cocktails !
The lady is dressed in an antique silk hankerchief I have been just waiting for the opportunity to use .The gentleman is dressed in a handsewn tuxedo jacket and trousers. I have been experimenting with jackets and am really pleased with this one :0)
Both dolls are displayed on my new handmade stands. These are very unobtrusive painted wooden discs with prongs that fit into the dolls feet . The dolls now stand steadily without unsightly metal stands showing.
In keeping with the period I have just finished a customer order for hercule Poirot the great detective. I had such fun with him I am now working on Miss Marple, hope to have photos soon.
Only three weeks now until Miniatura at the Birmingham NEC please come and say hello if you are visiting the show. I promise to have an eyecatching display !julie xxx

These ARE fabulous! The lady is my favourite with her fabulous make up and hair and the clothes are wonderful! I like the suits and waistcoats too. ;o)
Arh, Miss Marple, are you basing her on Joan Hickson's face or the newer actress?

These are stunning - as always :) You have really captured the era
I am a real Agatha fan...I love Hercule, he is fab!
I must say that Margaret Rutherford was my least favourite Miss Marple but I am sure you will do her justice!
Your deco lady is beautiful.

Oh! Todos me parecen estupendos, pero Poirot, es genial. Me encanta, estoy esperando para ver a Miss Marple y porque no: va a realizar al "Capitan Hastings"?

I have been so eager to see these dolls.They are absolutely gorgeous. The lady is so pretty and the man's suit is amazing - hardest thing to do by far!
Poirot is so like him - I love it! Beautifully made.
Looking forward to more...:-)
