Mon Ange (Fr. for “My Angel”) Dolls are handmade individually using high quality, natural fibers. The creation of these dolls is labor intensive but also a labor of love. The end result is a doll of lasting quality and beauty that your child will enjoy for endless hours.
The simplicity of the dolls is intentional – to leave room for the child’s imagination to develop. Because the dolls are handmade, no two dolls are alike – each doll is a one-of-a-kind. The clothing is made of cotton, wool or silk and the bodies are stuffed with cleaned, carded sheep’s wool. The head is formed with an inner head, then covered with 100% cotton interlock. The facial features are embroidered and the hair is either embroidered on or crocheted into a wig using mohair yarn.
I love to use recycled fabrics. Many of my dolls’ clothing has been made using wool or cashmere sweaters which have been “felted” in the washing machine. The agitation causes the fibers to join or mat together. After the sweater has gone through the dryer, the fabric can be cut without any fraying.
I get my inspiration from children of all ages and, from Mother Nature, Herself. Caring For Your Doll: It is recommended that you “sponge bathe” your doll with mild soap and water. Lay flat to dry.
