When did winter become a problem?<br />

When did winter become more about the<br />

shoveling <strong>of</strong> driveways and weariness <strong>of</strong><br />

ice than about the sledding down a hill<br />

and wariness <strong>of</strong> burning our tongues on<br />

hot chocolate? The days <strong>of</strong> snow being<br />

thought <strong>of</strong> as the world’s greatest toys may<br />

be behind you, but recapturing some <strong>of</strong><br />

the magic <strong>of</strong> winter is well within reach.<br />

In fact, you’re holding it in your hand.<br />

Dollmasters is here to help you enjoy the<br />

winter season. Enjoy the weather. Enjoy<br />

the holidays. Enjoy yourself. Dollmasters.<br />

Wee Forest Folks<br />

Dollmasters is delighted<br />

to introduce a family <strong>of</strong><br />

fanciful miniature mice,<br />

handcrafted in the USA by<br />

the Petersen family since<br />

1972. Annette Petersen<br />

crafted her first little<br />

mouse nearly four decades<br />

ago, and today is joined in the wee mouse<br />

world by Annette, Willy and Donna, the next<br />

generation <strong>of</strong> Petersens. They describe their<br />

creative process this way. "We make the mold,<br />

cast it, and a little mouse begins to emerge.<br />

Meticulous hand-painting and an enormous<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> patience and time brings each<br />

sculpture to life". All <strong>of</strong> the Wee Forest Folks<br />

are hand-crafted entirely in the small town <strong>of</strong><br />

Carlisle in eastern Massachusetts.<br />

M i S S no e l<br />

Whether she wears a red winter coat or a green one, Miss<br />

Noel will make you feel as cozy and warm in your home as<br />

her hands are in her tiny fur muff.<br />

could showcase their own little<br />

family <strong>of</strong> mice, and keep them<br />

safe at the same time. Entirely<br />

St. Nicholas figures that Dollmasters have<br />

For Petrova has not only elaborately hand-carved<br />

and hand-painted these grand gentlemen, she has<br />

festooned them with a veritable treasure chest <strong>of</strong><br />

magnificent semi-precious stones. Accentuating<br />

the semiprecious stones is a multi-layered<br />

painting technique (featuring authentic gold leaf<br />

and sterling silver accessories) so elaborate and<br />

From across the vast Pacific ocean, Dollmasters<br />

presents a series <strong>of</strong> traditional wooden Japanese play<br />

dolls known as Kokeshi. The kokeshi doll tradition<br />

is centuries-old in Japan. The carved wooden<br />

dolls seem initially simplistic in design, but closer<br />

examination reveals incredibly detailed carving<br />

such as hair accents and ruffles in clothing. Most<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Kokeshi dolls are produced from Japanese<br />

dogwood trees, well known for their white bark and<br />

fine grain. All carving and painting is hand-done by<br />

experienced artisans.<br />

Amy Goodrich <strong>of</strong> Ireland doesn’t like to think <strong>of</strong><br />

herself as a teddy bear creator so much as just an<br />

artist, and with teddy bears like these you can see<br />

why. In her own words, she states that each bear "is<br />

treated like a painting, although three-dimensional<br />

mohair is the medium". Each <strong>of</strong> her teddy bears,<br />

which are all one-<strong>of</strong>-a-kind, sports not only a<br />

different aesthetic but <strong>of</strong>ten an entirely different<br />

method <strong>of</strong> adornment highlighted by scenes that<br />

The Brownie Band<br />

Utilizing the Scottish highland folktales <strong>of</strong> his<br />

maternal ancestry, a then unknown Canadian<br />

artist named Palmer Cox created a group <strong>of</strong><br />

playful sprites known as the Brownies and he<br />

introduced them to the world in February <strong>of</strong><br />

1883 in a children’s periodical, St. Nicholas<br />

Magazine. Like the greats, Rose O’Neill and<br />

Johnny Gruelle, Palmer Cox filled his world<br />

with a wide array <strong>of</strong> fanciful characters, and<br />

like those greats, Palmer Cox now finds his<br />

works immortalized by the contemporary<br />

great R John Wright.<br />

Each Brownie is an entirely hand-made<br />

wool-felt doll from R John Wright and each<br />

is specially designed with heavy-wire feet<br />

to stand unaided. Each is a numbered<br />

limited edition <strong>of</strong> just 250 and comes in a<br />

fanciful presentation box with a certificate <strong>of</strong><br />

Debbee Thibault — A Dollmasters Tradition.<br />

The artist has a simple credo, "Each <strong>of</strong> my characters start from the stories I make up about them", which<br />

helps explain their fable-like quality. Made entirely by hand in her California studio, each bears the true mark<br />

<strong>of</strong> individuality. Created <strong>of</strong> a unique paper-mache that exactly captures the look <strong>of</strong> 19th century folk art dolls,<br />

and decorated with quirky yet artful touches, it's no wonder that Debbee Thibault has become a standard in<br />

Dollmasters catalogs as well as collector's homes. Each is signed, numbered and dated.<br />

During the mid/late 19th century, French artisans created superb miniature accessories, costumed doll<br />

arrangements and miniature settings that were <strong>of</strong>fered in exclusive small boutiques and in the lavish Parisian<br />

Etrennes catalogs <strong>of</strong> luxury department stores. Today, a talented French artist has restored a selection <strong>of</strong><br />

these extremely-rare luxury objects for us, mostly made with the original antique pieces, dolls, fabrics, boxes,<br />

and other materials. They are available in very limited number – some only one, few more than half a dozen<br />

– so we advise that you do not tarry in choosing your favorites.<br />

have looked about 1870 in Paris. There are arched niches,<br />

shelves, mirrors, drawers, and a bounty <strong>of</strong> more than 30 fabulous<br />

miniature bonnets <strong>of</strong> straw, pressed felt and silk, adorned with<br />

tiny silk flowers, feathers, and ribbons. There are card-board<br />

bonnet boxes with labels, wooden hat stands, and French-labeled<br />

drawers filled with wonderful tiny supplies for making still more bonnets. In the center <strong>of</strong> it all stands an<br />

antique bisque lady with silk gown. Opened, the shop is 27"w. x 12"h. x 2"d. Closed, 13"w. x 8 ½". Only one.<br />

We've seen plenty <strong>of</strong> bears that could benefit from a good<br />

corset, and evidently the Paris corset shop, Buscs a l'Ours,<br />

thought so, too. Because about 1920 Buscs a l'Ours introduced<br />

an eye-catching promotional poster featuring over 35 bears<br />

busily trying on corsets in their showroom. The poster was so<br />

popular that it was <strong>of</strong>fered as a premium by the store for several<br />

decades. Dollmasters has found a small cache <strong>of</strong> the firm-back<br />

mounted poster edition printed in the 1950's. 22". OS-142.<br />

Although production <strong>of</strong> the bear ended nearly<br />

70 years ago, a small stock <strong>of</strong> assembly parts for<br />

the bear remained. Recently, that stock has been<br />

uncovered and Peter Bears have been assembled<br />

just for Dollmasters. Though the mohair is<br />

today’s, every other single part <strong>of</strong> Peter Bear,<br />

including his unusual paper mache armature and<br />

flirty glass eyes, are the authentic originals. 15"H.<br />

June Ellen Lane <strong>of</strong> Lake Arrowhead,<br />

California lived in a house at the top <strong>of</strong><br />

a long and winding hill. Her remarkable<br />

doll collection peopled every room in the<br />

house in cabinets and scenes that were<br />

the delight <strong>of</strong> every visiting collector<br />

who made the trip to visit her. Although<br />

her collection spanned every category<br />

including very rare automata and French<br />

bébés, her special love and focus were<br />

lady dolls, including the rarest <strong>of</strong> French<br />

poupées, the finest early English wooden,<br />

and superb German paper maches. The<br />

extensive collection was sold in a two-day<br />

auction, as<br />

was her wish.<br />

Living on the outskirts <strong>of</strong> Moscow, Alya Dmitrakova, a graduate <strong>of</strong> the Russian College <strong>of</strong> Applied Arts,<br />

has earned herself international renown as one <strong>of</strong> the foremost European St. Nicholas artists. Meticulously<br />

carved from the driest base wood, each Santa is highlighted with detailed etching using a special burning<br />

process Dmitrakova herself invented, and then further adorned by painting so detailed it requires special<br />

magnifying glasses to perform. With that level <strong>of</strong> detail, each St. Nicholas is a truly unique piece inspired by<br />

the artist’s whim. Each is signed on the base by the artist.<br />
