I know that this post is a little late to make a grand announcement but I have changed my name dun dun dun dun. Alison Jackson Art DollsI had meant to do this all in one go, but Facebook was so fast that it caught me off guard and instead of taking the 2 weeks plus pleading, changed the name on my page within 15 minutes of my initial request. I was a little shocked. But all is good, and without much fanfare I have changed my name and stepped out from behind the honey pot. This website will run for a little while longer, while I finish making my new website and then link directly to it ..read more

So it was Makers Medley Challenge time and I decided to do something a little different. The theme was old object. I decided to make a little wooden man. Wood being quite an old object I thought. I had been wanting to try my hand at a Ball Jointed Doll (BJD) for a while, well ever since seeing them on Pinterest for the first time but was rather nervous of clay, as it is easy to break and porcelain needs a kiln and various other things I don’t have. And then I had saw a tutorial on Etsy for a wooden BJD and I just had to give it a go. The tutorial is sold by https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Donn ..read more

Good morning lovelies Today I wanted to share with you my Queen Elizabeth Art Doll and show you a few work in progress photos. Making this doll I used a tutorial by the incredibly talented Dorote Zaukaite (dorotesdolls.com) that I bought myself as a Christmas present, and I am so glad I did. It was 68 pages packed with loads of pictures and really well explained. In a handy downloadable PDF form too so you don’t have to wait for the postman when you just want to get on with it, you know what I mean, I know you do. I have always loved the Elizabethan style of dress and when the Makers ..read more

I am very excited to be able to tell you about my latest decision, regarding the Honey Pot. I am going to stop making CE tested items. I know! Daring hey? Well maybe not that extraordinary and many may have seen this coming a mile off (especially if you are on my mailing list as I have already mentioned it there). But I feel it is quite a bold step for me. I have decided to concentrate on developing my art dolls. And I want to learn lots of new techniques and increase my ability both in sewing and in sculpture. The children’s toys have been just proving too much of a distraction and eating ..read more

This blog post is in answer to one of my most frequently asked questions so there will be a link from here to the FAQ page and one back here. How big are your Dolls? When you are looking at a computer screen or your mobile phone it is very hard to tell the size of a doll. Or what the difference is between the sizes of the different style dolls I make. They are not very often in the same photo for comparison. Hopefully this post will answer all those question ..read more
