I came across an original handmade doll shop the other day.
Pas. Sage sells an interesting collection of handknitted dolls and mobiles inspired by Françoise Dalto, modern art and doll traditions around the world.
I really like the first one above, it reminds me a bit of Sian Keegan's Girard-inspired dolls and the bottom two "ndebele" dolls, based on the South African tradition of mothers knitting a doll for their sons to give to their fiancée, remind me of Paola McClure's work.
