Mignonnette

One of my obsessions is mignonnettes (4-8" tall all-bisque jointed antique dolls). Given the prices that antique mignonnettes change hands for, I don't think I'll ever own one. However, I hope to acquire a few nice reproductions over the next few years.

Here are my 3 mignonnette repros. They are all 5" high.
Left : made by Yvonne Perchoc from Belgium, with jointed elbows (costume included).
Middle : made by Darlene Lane, with jointed elbows (costume included). This doll was given to the participants of the Mignonnette dinner at the July 2003 UFDC convention.
Right : made by Leslie Perkumas, who also made the drawers. I bought the crocheted dress and bonnet at a show in Paris.


Here is Ichigo, a 7" oriental mignonnette repro by Leslie Perkumas, who also made the drawers.

I need to make her something to wear...
