Sam Crow is a daydreamer and character collector, with a huge love for stories and story telling in all its forms. She can usually be found with a pen in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other, scribbling down the bizarre characters she either meets or imagines, or with her hands covered in clay and her head buried in mountains of fabric, creating new creatures. Each little Curious Creature is one of a kind and unique, with a large personality and their own story ..... much like us larger people.
She hopes you enjoy the curious creatures and inky fingers as much as she loves creating them…

'' All of my art dolls are completely handmade and One of a Kind, depicting the characters I have met, seen, dreamt of or imagined – little people with large personalities. Each figure is individually crafted using clay or fabric over a wire or wood armature, with clay heads and handpainted faces all finished with matt varnish for protection. I use a mix of new, vintage and repurposed fabrics and trims and various textile techniques to create their costumes. No moulds were used in their creation and none made of the originals afterwards – making them all one of a kind and unique individuals… much like us larger people.''

Each doll comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA)

Hello and welcome to my Etsy shop, thankyou for looking and considering buying one of my illustrations, artworks or creations...huge smile.

I am an artist and creator with a huge love for the theatre, textiles and all things creative - based in the South East of England.
My art dolls combine all my creative urges ...costume, theatre, sculpting, story telling, creating, tinkering....playing.... they are completely handmade and “One of a Kind, depicting the characters I have met, seen, dreamt of or imagined – little people with large personalities. Each figure is individually crafted and entirely made by hand – using clay or fabric over a wire or wood armature, -some have bead and string moveable joints,- and various textiles and textile techniques to create the clothing. I use a mix of new, vintage and repurposed fabrics and trims and the costumes are finished with hand stitching. Their heads are always made with clay and their faces are hand painted in artists acrylics and finished with matt varnish for protection. No moulds were used in their creation and none made of the originals afterwards – making them all one of a kind and unique individuals… much like us larger people.

Each doll comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA)
