Wee finds: Amanda Fatherazi dolls and brooches

Just thought you might want to see more of the amazing hand-crafted dolls by textile artist Amanda Fatherazi, which she created exclusively for Liberty's Prints Charming Exhibition. These saucy minxes feature incredible hand-finished detail with vintage tulle bustiers and a combination of Liberty prints. The bespoke dolls are currently available on the 4th floor of Liberty for (I think) £400 each.

I've already pounced on one of the brooches, which I blogged about yesterday. Here are some more adorable designs, which are currently available from Liberty...

There's a bowl of the limited-edition brooches (starting at £30) on the fourth floor of Liberty, as well as four designs available online (from £35).

They are so charming and pretty! There is a lot of character in them all!! I would have a hard time limitting my purchases to just one though! I'd have to collect them I'm afraid!

I do love the gypsy brooch but I am quite creeped out by dolls in general so I'm being scared by these. I feel the same way about clowns too!

I'm having one of those moments where half of me wants to go 'so pretty' and the other is going 'ekkk scary dolls!' Think I may have an underlying childhood issue there! ;)

Pretty in Print, Part 2 One of the most exciting things to emerge from the Liberty Prints Charming exhibition is the new artist fabric collection, which features exclusive designs by British artists Grayson Perry, Paul Morrison, Mike McInnerney, Michael Angove, Anj Smith and Simon Hart....
