Handmade dolls and chickens are pretty high on my list of favourite things. Black Hen's
Happy Chicken series of rag dolls are inspired by a my flock. I love working outside amongst my girls; watching their antics as they putter around the garden scratching for tidbits. Each hen has a distinctive personality: some demure, some brash, while others are aloof.
Happy Chicken dolls are as distinctive as the hens that inspired them. Each rag doll is created with upcycled wool and vintage fabrics, buttons and embellishments. They are all one of a kind. Come visit
Blondie,
Misty, and
Mother Hen when they make their public debut at the
Anna Templeton Centre's Tea and Sale, this weekend December 13, 14, and 15th.
Grey Mystique, aka Misty is an Aracuna who lays bright green eggs. She also has a muff and tuffs on the side of her head which gives her face lots of character. Although she looks very angry about getting her picture taken, she is actually a very friendly and inquisitive chicken. She loves treats and comes when she is called. She is quite the girl.
Mother Hen is a mille fleur bantam. She is quite tiny and many people mistake her for a grouse or a partridge. Although she only lays a egg every couple of days she is an excellent mother and faithfully sit on any egg big or small. She loves to make nests in the woods under fallen trees.We stick eggs of all sizes under Mother and know that she will do a great job raising the chicks.
Blondie is a comet. She lays a large brown egg almost every day! She is quiet and calm. Blondie will run over when you come outside to see if you have a treat. Her feathers are a beautiful shade of strawberry blonde. She is beautiful and she knows it.
