A very special Waldorf Doll wreath...

This GORGEOUS handmade art yarn wreath features an heirloom doll named Cinnamon Twist--measuring 16 inches from head to toe, she is made in the Waldorf tradition with cotton interlock for skin, clean carded wool stuffing, and crayon red boucle hair with white and silver highlights (peppered with the most delectable tiny bows).

Dressed in an eclectic dress and ruffled pantaloons with an imported Alice in Wonderland themed fabric, she is truly stunning and unique, and is completely removable to be a treasured childhood companion for that special child in your life! (Lovingly handmade by-- http://www.etsy.com/shop/CupcakesSweetShoppe --this talented doll maker is currently booked up through Christmas with custom orders for her adorable dolls that retail for $150.00.)

Measuring 25 inches high and 21 inches across, this wreath has been hand wrapped by hand dyed and hand spun art yarn made by various Etsy artisans--lush and sparkling shades of black, red, ivory, turquoise wool yarn with glittering angelina fiber. Hand made fabric and lace flowers decorate the wreath, and continuing with the Alice in Wonderland theme you will find 9 wood cut characters taken from the original illustrations from the beloved novel, as well as 3 fabric hearts (with pearls and lace). To top it all off, three handmade "stuffed" Card Guard Plushies are "painting the roses red"--secured to the wreath are the 4 of diamonds and the 7 of clubs, while the 2 of hearts is removable (like the doll) to be played with by your child as well.

The Glitter and Gold of Autumn

I've been feeling a bit more traditional lately...

Found an amazing Vintage-style Halloween sign, and had to make a wreath to match it...


Also in a more classic, pumpkin sort of autumn mood...

Russet Oak Leaves in Autumn Splendor Wreath

I always try to make a wreath or two for those buying on a budget each season--so take a gander at this lovely Fall Wreath!

Lovely fall berries and changing oak leaves of russet, mahogany, and cranberry with pomegranate, rose hips, and acorns...

...and some sweet Jackolantern bells for whimsy...

...and such a gorgeous bow!

All Hallows Eve Candle Wreath

A glowing candle guides spirits back to their places of rest on All Hallows Eve, forming the focal point for this lush wreath; this safe artificial candle is made of real wax, flickering just like a real candle (and it smells of pomegranates--the fruit of the underworld), yet it is completely removable to replace batteries each season; because it is difficult to catch the glowing beauty of a glowing candle in full light photographs, I took one photograph in low light to show off the candle itself (forgive the blurriness of this photo--low light is difficult to photograph in!)

Everyone loved my glowing candle wreath so much last Hallows Eve, that I decided to craft a completely different version, using a one of a kind handmade cloth folk art doll by by one of my favorite primitive artists who calls herself "Tulleshed"--she has such a way with faces, just look at the mischievous face of this little pumpkin guy!
