I just saw these posted on flickr. I absolutely LOVE them! And the book is just killing me. I was thinking about making a felt board and some shapes for the girls but this has me thinking about a book now, too! I hope you’ll share with us when your friend opens up shop!

Oh my gosh those are all sooooo cute! Please tell here others think she should definitely open a shop, and post on here when she does. I’d add her to my favorites list in a second. Too cute.

These are one of those things you slap your forehead and say “why didn’t I think of that?!” They remind me of the fisher price little people I played with for HOURS when I was young, but sooo much better!
I just read your previous post too and you are so incredibly talented!!! You could open an etsy shop in a heartbeat. I am very inspired by your work

I love the little people. Let us all know if your friend decides to make them to sell. I would love to have some for my boys to play with.

I just made some playsets with the wooden dolls. Your are cute!
January 10, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Wow, both of those gifts are just absolutely touching and special and I could imagine them being played with and treasured for years. And ending up sort of family heirlooms. Guess that’s what handmade’s all about !

I love both of these ideas! The little dolls remind me so much of some that my great uncle painted for me as a child. He would dress them in clothes and I particularly remember one with a little lace handkerchief on her head. So sweet. We plan to make some fairy dolls this weekend.
I have been meaning to try the felt books as well. Is the book made of wool felt? I seem to have problems getting the acrylic stuff to hold up, but it’s hard to find the wool in bright colors, so I usually try to go with a blend. Does anyone know any great felt sources?

those dolls are precious! what a great gift!

[...] 15, 2008 I told you all about her before, but my incredibly talented friend has opened her own etsy shop called Ten Fingers [...]

I WANT those little wooden dolls for my son!!! Is there any way she will make them for me?? How much do they cost? They are just so cute!

Thank you elsie marley for posting the photo’s, it was my pleasure to make them for your daughter & to see how much she actually likes them is wonderful.
I’d be happy to paint anyone’s family, please see my etsy shop. http://www.tenfingerworkshop.etsy.com.
The felt book was very specially made for little lil, I encourage everyone to make one for their little one. Thanks again elsie & everyone for all the kind words.
