It seems that Spring has a special meaning<br />
for all <strong>of</strong> us this year. But even as we turn<br />
to new beginnings, there are those <strong>of</strong> us<br />
who cherish the past. Historians would<br />
say that we must know what went before<br />
if we are to understand the present, and<br />
that is certainly true. But for collectors,<br />
there is a simpler rationale. It is <strong>nostalgia</strong><br />
for a gentler time. Enjoy Dollmaster's<br />

and collectibles celebrating yesterday's<br />

The thing about<br />
good folk art is that<br />
it transforms the<br />
ordinary. Odd little<br />
twists and turns<br />
<strong>of</strong> design present<br />
the commonplace<br />
in a whole new<br />
perspective. So<br />
it is with Debbee<br />
Thibault's<br />
interpretation <strong>of</strong><br />
the classic children's<br />
rhyme. An 18th<br />
century style Mary<br />
with a wonderful<br />
character face and<br />
well-detailed costume<br />
stands alongside her little lamb, each painted with<br />
graceful aging techniques. Designed, made and painted<br />
in America in the artist's studio, each signed and dated.<br />

Of course, every Mom knows<br />
that her little boy is a prince,<br />
and this shy yet impish<br />
fellow from the workshops<br />
<strong>of</strong> American artist Debbee<br />
Thibault seems to be<br />
trying to prove the point.<br />
Yet his toy crown and<br />
angel wings are a bit tilted,<br />
betraying a less-princely but<br />
more-appealing personality.<br />
The Prince folk art figure<br />
is classic Thibault, utterly<br />
charming at first glance<br />
and then compelling<br />
and meaningful<br />
when you look<br />
again. Hand-sculpted<br />
and painted in her<br />
California studio.<br />

<strong>Dollmasters</strong> introduces Uncle<br />
Sam!<br />
The phrase "Uncle Sam" was first coined<br />
during the War <strong>of</strong> 1812 as dedication to the<br />
man who fed the troops, "Uncle" Sam<br />
Wilson (guess what he looked liked!),<br />
and for nearly 200 years it is a term<br />
synonymous with the United States. As the<br />
bi-centennial <strong>of</strong> Uncle Sam approaches,<br />
<strong>Dollmasters</strong> is proud to dedicate this page<br />
to our nation’s symbol featuring the works<br />
<strong>of</strong> renowned American artists like R John<br />
Wright and Debbie Thibault.<br />

The famous illustrator, Palmer Cox, introduced his<br />
Brownies in 1887 in a series <strong>of</strong> children's books. Since that<br />
time they have been made into many forms <strong>of</strong> popular<br />
culture from napkin rings to postcards. Now the celebrated<br />
American artist introduces his interpretation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Brownie characters, to be issued one by one over a period<br />
<strong>of</strong> time. Uncle Sam, the patriotic Brownie, is made <strong>of</strong> finest<br />
all-wool felt with jointing at the neck and shoulders, and a<br />
secure wire armature to allow for self standing. Every detail<br />
is perfect, including his incredibly tiny fingers and feet, just<br />
like the original drawings. A Dollmaster's Exclusive from a<br />

The Brownie Band<br />
Utilizing the Scottish highland folktales <strong>of</strong> his<br />
maternal ancestory, 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> 1883<br />
in a children's periodical, St. Nicholas Magazine.<br />
Like the greats, Rose O'Neill and Johnny Gruelle,<br />
Palmer Cox filled his world with a wide array <strong>of</strong><br />
fanciful characters, and like those greats, Palmer<br />
Cox now finds his works immortalized by the<br />
contemporary great R John Wright.<br />
Each Brownie is an entirely hand-made wool-felt<br />
doll from R John Wright and each is specially<br />
designed with heavy-wire feet to stand unaided.<br />
Each is a numbered limited edition <strong>of</strong> just 250<br />
and comes in a fanciful presentation box with a<br />
certificate <strong>of</strong> authenticity.<br />

First appearing in the<br />
1887 "The Brownies,<br />
Their Book." by<br />
Palmer Cox, the<br />
whimsical Dude<br />
is one <strong>of</strong> the most<br />
recognizable Brownies<br />
ever, and why<br />
shouldn't he be, for he is the one who shows the<br />
other Brownies what to wear, though honestly,<br />
they don't seem to listen much.<br />
The Brownie Dude is made <strong>of</strong> the finest all-wool<br />
felt and wears a natty outfit consisting <strong>of</strong> cuffed<br />
trousers, waistcoat, stiffened collar with bow tie,<br />
and swallow-tailed jacket as well as a matching<br />
top hat and, <strong>of</strong> course, a hand-carved wood cane<br />
and a gold plated monocle.<br />
Produced in just 250 pieces, The Dude is a limited<br />

The Egg As Symbol L a d y b u g<br />
The egg has been called "the most perfect<br />
thing in the universe". It is considered<br />
the symbol <strong>of</strong> eternity, posterity, rebirth,<br />
mystery and magic. Eggs have been<br />
buried under buildings to ward <strong>of</strong>f evil.<br />
In 18 th century France, a new bride<br />
traditionally stepped on an egg before<br />
crossing the threshold <strong>of</strong> her new home.<br />
In 1883 the Russian craftsman Faberge<br />
was commissioned by Czar Alexander III<br />
to create a perfect egg-shaped jeweled<br />
surprise for the Czarina and over the<br />
next several decades Faberge designed<br />
several dozen more; the "Faberge eggs"<br />
now rank among the world's most<br />
precious treasures. Begin your own<br />
collection today <strong>of</strong> these "most perfect<br />
things".<br />

From a privately owned French wedding museum come<br />
antique 19th century French wedding globes known as "globes<br />
de mariee". Each young bride and groom chose the objects<br />
to place inside a globe that would symbolize their union and<br />
their dreams, including mirrors, birds, ivy leaves, and flowers,<br />
and so important was the tradition that the globe de mariee<br />
("the bride's wedding globe") lived in a place <strong>of</strong> honor in the<br />
home throughout the marriage. Each <strong>of</strong> our wedding globes,<br />
which make elegant and completely novel gifts for wedding<br />
or anniversaries, comes with its own antique base and globe<br />
and certificate <strong>of</strong> authenticity. Each is different, but you can<br />
expect to receive one similar to those shown. We will include<br />
a complimentary copy <strong>of</strong> Florence Theriault's book "Memories<br />
<strong>of</strong> a Marriage" recounting the legend <strong>of</strong> the globes.<br />

If the storybook figure hadn't been<br />
made <strong>of</strong> wood, he might have chosen<br />
wool felt as his medium. Susan McKay,<br />
the rising Toronto bear artist who uses<br />

him "Pupetto". He is simply superb<br />
with stitch-shaped face to emphasize<br />
his character features and painted eyes<br />
with black glass pupils, mohair wig,<br />
stitched-on gloves and shoes, and a<br />

You just know that your sewing skills<br />
could create a wonderful folk art doll<br />

that your painting skills couldn't create<br />
a face that meets your ideal. The<br />
superbly talented American cloth doll<br />
artist Susan Fosnot has an idea that will<br />
solve that problem. She has oil-painted<br />
the doll face on canvas ready for you to<br />
fit on the rest <strong>of</strong> a doll that you assemble. All <strong>of</strong> the materials and instructions needed for the entire doll and<br />
costume are included in her kit along with the painted face. In her own words, "I painted the face myself, and<br />
each one is a little different from all the others. I feel that we are making this doll together. I have done my<br />
part and now it's your turn!" We have only a few <strong>of</strong> each kit so order quickly. Makes a 21" doll, each face signed<br />
