Hello and welcome to my simple blog!
My name is Sherry and I live just outside London in England (UK)
My name is Sherry and I live just outside London in England (UK)
with my husband John and our two kitties Lily and Leo.
In short, I just love to craft!
I’ve tried loads of different things over the years,
bought far too many supplies and no doubt
will continue to do so (funds permitting!).
My favourite place to be is in my craft room -
why wouldn’t it be - if you're reading this you'll
know exactly what I mean!
My ‘artistic passion’ is anything mixed media
or Tim Holtz related - could I be more vague!
Whatever new I try I always seem to return to
what I love the best .....
I’m not talented enough to sculpt the faces myself
so instead use little moulds.
Here are a few of my dolls, past and present.
If you'd like to see more of my dolls click on the
logo below to go to my Etsy shop
(I'm new to Etsy and selling my things so there isn't that
much in the shop yet)
Gift Giveaway

Lovely dolls! I'm not clever enough to sculpt either, and love using molds. Wonderful work, Sherry!

Your dolls are wonderful. I especially like Lizzie. I also really like the masquerade doll you showed above. Lovely! I have tried making some paper craft angels and have really enjoyed it but definitely need a lot more practice.

Your paper dolls are so creative, I love them and would be happy to win Vicky! Good luck with your Etsy shop and have fun visiting all those OWOA blogs!
I am in love with your paper dolls Sherry. I am a lover of dolls in general, of all kinds of material, paper included, and these ladies are just stunning. I couldn't pick between the two, so I would leave it down to you to pick the perfect gal for me if I were to be lucky enough to win on. I can't wait to see what you new doll and craft creation will be.

A very unique idea - have never seen this beautiful kind of work. Lovely dolls. I especially love the one with the pink blouse. Nice to meet you!
Hello, Sherry
Nice to meet you!
Your paper dolls are so special! I adore your idea of using a mould for the faces. I too enjoy many various craft ideas, and have a well loved stock of supplies to create with.
I adore doll #2, please!
Here is my email address if I win:

Your dolls are fabulous. They are ever so stylish.
Hello Sherry!
Your dolls are so sweet- I'm a papercrafter myself, but haven't tried to sculpt anything dimensionally... YET! Perhaps I'll be brave and track down some molds and see where they take my own art!
Victoria is a brunette bombshell: I love that she is posable!
I do hope you'll visit me at Twigs and Tulle over the next few weeks!

Fabulous dolls!!! I made some by myself some time ago but yours are perfect.

Sherry, first let me say thank you so much for participating in OWOA. As I've said to others it's a slow go this year but that's ok. (bad host hasn't even posted her own yet {blushes})
Anyway......how cute are your paper dolls....so much personality and you have oodles of choices for outfits and style open to you!
I so get how it feels being in our creative spaces.

P.S. I love England and hope to visit there again one day.
Sherry, I never would have thought of combining clay faces with paper dolls . . . and this is why I love OWOA, and blog snooping in general! So many creative people to visit!
Happy OWOA to you!

Your dolls are just lovely. It's hard to decide which on I like more but I will go with Lizzie as that is my sister's name.

it is so hard to make a choice ! but I think that I finally prefer Victoria...
happy OWOA to you !
Oh, lovely dolls! I'm doing some paper dolls but nothing like yours. Love the clay faces!
I so love looking at your pretty dolls Sherry, you always manage to make them look so vivid and alive! The way you colour and dress them is amazing! Hugs, Ira x

Wow, what a wonderful collection, Sherry. I love the one with the mask, as well as Victoria and Elizabeth. They all have such style!
Dear Sherry, another super dolls, created wirh agreat taste and imagination! New characters, new dresses! I love both of them! ;)))
I adore your dolls, Sherry. I am the proud owner of one already so I won't enter the draw, but I do rather like Lizzy's dungaree dress.
As usual Sherry your dolls are just fabulous, and it would be hard to choose. But as I never win anything anyway it's not a problem. When I have more time, I will investigate this blog event.
I have never seen paper dolls with clay faces! What fun. I have recently been introducing my 6 year old to paper dolls - one came in the back of a craft book I have and another a friend sent from a Graze box. She couldn't believe me when I said I used to make them and their clothes to play with when I was little.
Just loved your post and learning what makes you tick :) Gutted I missed the start of OWOA after waiting for it for so long but am so enjoying reading the posts anyway.
I love Vicky and if I won would give her to my daughter who seems to be starting a collection but certainly doesn't have a girl with a modelled face :)
