Dolls By Nature
Custom Crafted by: Stephanie Edson
Natural dolls are my passion and my hobby. I love to create and make best friends for children. My inspiration is my own children. I am particularly drawn to the Waldorf philosophy. Simple faces provide children an outlet to explore their feelings. My dolls are entirely handmade using all natural materials. Cotton bodies are firmly stuffed with wool and then embroidered with cotton floss.

Custom orders are always welcome, though I do list in stock at Midday Faire if you are interested in receiving a doll right away. (click on this text to go to Midday Faire)
One of the most wonderful things I get are letters from parents who write me that their child has turned their doll into a family member or dear friend. This picture is of a simple Waldorf doll adapted from another pattern, and it is one of my son's most cherished playmates. He sleeps with his friend as a pillow at night and carries him around during the day. It's a wonderful thing to see.
Because not every child looks the same, I use a variety of skin, hair, and eye shades. I feel all the colors of humanity should be represented. These dolls are as unique as their owners.
