I missed this thread. If anyone has questions about Mr. Burbidge's and his
dolls in an exhibit. You can write me privately. We talked extensively about
how he designed them. He is a dear man.

To punch holes in a feather quill for sewing we've always used a hot
needle. It burns its way through the quill and there is no danger of
splitting the quill. You don't need fancy equipment. Just lay the
needle across the burner of your stove. Heat it until its hot, then
use a pair of pliers (p
I believe that Mr. Burbridge is no longer with us. There have been
extensive articles on his work in both Doll Costuming and Doll Artisan in
the last couple of years. I will try to look up the issues tomorrow.

Many years ago (late 80's) the dolls were exhibited at the Fitchburg
(MA) Art Museum. They are stunning to say the least. I would love to
see them again. I'm can't remember if my mom got a book or postcards
of them. Of course what ever it was is down in PA where she lives so I

One of the sites I looked at seems to refer to this as an "orphrey," though
this is any embroidered band. But maybe that is the only word there is for
this.

I'm not sure what it's called, but it functions as the band across the crst
that holds the cope shut. usually a meatl fibula holds it closed on one side
of the band. Look under Coptic formal clerigy costumes. One might tell you

actually.
Even you, with your skills and talent, can't expect to
make a perfect doll the first time. That's natural.
A new technique, a new skill takes time to master.

This talk of fashion dolls reminds me of a wonderful array of
historically dressed dolls by John Burbidge, Les Petites Dames de
Mode. Not sure if they have been brought up here before, but for
anyone thinking about making period dressed dolls they are well worth
a look.
