Frequently Asked Questions

When will there be more dolls available?

My next collection will be available in October (date TBC).

How can I buy some nesting dolls?

I currently sell my original artwork, prints and other items via my Etsy shop. My nesting dolls and one off pieces tend to find new homes very quickly, but I try to have new work available regularly, around once a month.

I will announce details of each shop update ahead of time on Instagram and Facebook, and also send an email newsletter (you can sign up to receive this through the form at the bottom of my homepage).

I am hoping to move away from Etsy soon so I that my artwork is available to purchase through this website instead… there will be a website shop coming shortly! ✨

I can’t see any dolls in your Etsy shop, where are they?

I’m really sorry, if there are no dolls in my shop it means they have all found homes and I will be working on more.

Do you ship worldwide?

Where possible, I am happy to ship internationally, and I send all of my parcels tracked and insured.

Sadly due to the new GPSR laws that came in effect in December 2024, I am currently no longer be able to sell within EU countries or NI. I will update as soon as possible if I find a viable solution.

After a brief pause in US shipping to work out the new tariff situation, I have now been able to turn that back on for most items! Unfortunately, I am still looking for a safe solution for my nesting doll sets, so am currently unable to offer these in the US.

Can I preorder a specific set?

I’m so sorry to be disappointing but I don’t currently take preorders, mainly due to the time taken for each set to be completed.

Do you take commissions?

Again, sorry to be disappointing but I don’t currently take on commissions.

Why do you only have one or two sets available at a time?

Each set (and each doll) is very time consuming to paint, so I can only have a small number available every month.

What is the price of the dolls?

Prices vary depending on size, quantity and design of the dolls; they currently start at around £90 for the smallest individual mini doll.

Do you carve the dolls?

Unfortunately wood turning is not a skill I possess (maybe one day!), so I source the blank dolls from more talented craftspeople.

What paint do you use on the dolls?

I use quality acrylic paint, and seal them with anti-UV matt varnish. I am currently using mostly Winsor & Newton Galeria.

What brushes do you use?

I am currently using mostly ProArte Polar series, and also their Masterstroke Miniature series.

Are the dolls suitable for children?

The dolls are intended as works of art rather than toys; the smaller dolls are extremely tiny, and fairly fragile, so aren’t suitable for young children.

Do you offer wholesale for your printed items?

Not at the moment, but this may change in the future!

Do work with galleries?

Again, not currently.
