So, a Nutcracker, St. Nick & an Angel walk into...

my Etsy shop! Were you expecting a different answer? Sorry, family-friendly blog :) But you're welcome to visit Angela Michelle Dolls on Etsy to pay them a visit!



Each ornament (or pin, as suits your fancy) is made from toothpicks, with a special holiday twist. The Nutcracker has his classic face & beard, his facial features hand-cut & put in place with a toothpick as my tool! Old World St. Nick has a Christmas Red cloak, extra fluffy beard, and wee pointed cap. The Angel holds a miniature handmade holly wreath. Her wings are my favorite part - they're made from Angelina fibers, a special fiber that bonds to itself when heated. The lights show through them beautifully!
So please, step inside out of the cold & enjoy the dolls!

    thanks for visiting my blog and I LOVE the nutcracker. I can't believe the detail on him AND many other dolls in your shop. The intricacy of your work requires a lot of patience I would imagine. Eo you work under a magnifier?

    QuirkyDolls, I actually don't use a magnifier - just a really really good lamp :)
