Always an Original Creation, Expressions in Felt for 2008
Maggie has the ability to collect a sense of textures, to remember the curls of a little girl at the park,
and the subtle colors seen at a visit to the Renoir collection at the art museum. But it is a magical moment when all of these influences come together
and she begins the first steps of creating a new doll. Even when she is recalling
a story or rhyme from her childhood, Maggie's artistic talents always turn it into something that is her very own, always an original creation.
Collectors all over the world have come to appreciate Maggie's originality. This year's collection brings to them just that. For the very first time she
has designed for them a bride and a miniature trunk set. She has brought to them the romantic textures found in the petal skirt and the visual
illusions of silken overlays.
* Maggie's collectors are more than collectors, they are patrons, patrons of the arts that allow her to do what she loves most; make dolls.

Virginia
Always choosing the right colors Maggie brings you Virginia in rich shades of deep blush and coral blended with dark berry, periwinkle, and ivory. She stands before you ready for a summer’s day walk, the envy of the flowers along her path. With delicate stitching and embroidery, the detail of Virginia’s dress will delight your eyes and when you hold her you will feel the softness and warmth of her entire outfit. Maggie has carefully chosen each fabric for its texture and dyed it to stimulate the senses of sight and touch. Adding a trace of lace to adorn her sleeves and a felt bonnet keeps the sun at bay, Virginia waits at the garden gate. Upturned mohair braids frame her adorable face which just begs, ‘come with me.’ How can one resist? $975 Edition of 60 16 1/2" |

The Bride
Maggie brings to you another expression in felt, 'The Bride.' Love and beauty rule the day. A perfect wedding planned and 'The Bride' is glowing. As delicate as the fabrics chosen, Maggie has created the lighter than air feelings of gossamer and opulence. White wool felt, silks, and embroidered detail bring 'The Bride' to you in all the splendor of that very special day. |

Charlotte
Charlotte comes to you in a petal skirt inspired by a 1920’s fashion. Maggie feels she has captured the era and the moment this little girl stepped into the room and took a seat in your heart. Here, in Charlotte’s outfit, you’ll see Maggie’s signature touch of color and texture and all the details will take your breath away. Charlotte will stand out in your collection with a style all of her own. From the woven ribbon trimming her cream wool felt top to the tiny stitching over her floral accented bodice you will see that Maggie has chosen just the right silk for her sash. And of course Maggie has dyed it to the perfect shade of sage to tie the perfect bow at the back and tie her entire ensemble together. |

Wendy
Sitting at only 6 ½” tall Wendy rings true the saying that great things do come in small packages. In her bashful pink wool felt dress and the tiniest of Mary Janes, Wendy will charm you in a big way. With a turn or tilt of her head she can strike a pose for you and when you’re ready to play dolls Wendy’s poseable hips, shoulders, and hands will make it much more fun. |
