Handmade dolls


I love this handmade doll! I have a soft spot for multicultural baby dolls and this one is made by Magic Rainbow Handmade Dolls, a talented lady in Queensland. She makes all kinds of dolls and will do them by request - style, colour and size - as well.
I found her on Facebook and you can purchase the dolls from her Etsy shop. This one is a Waldorf doll and cost about $167 (yes it's sold - it was a custom doll) - so the pricetag is not for the fainthearted - but Rainbow Magic makes simpler dolls for considerably less. It features organic cotton knit skin, weighted with sand for a natural feel and is a lifesize newborn, plump and cuddly. She even creates Vegan dolls featuring all organic plant fibres! Now that's specialist!
