About the Art & Artist

Hi All ! I’m TJ, the owner/operator of Hilltop Doll Studio. All of my products are designed & sewn by me. I do not use ready-made patterns & therefore all of my dolls are original & unique! I have a series of 11.5” dolls, with sculpted bodies (they have complexly designed shapes), & a series of minis (6.5”) that have a simple pattern, which I craft using leftover scraps. Some fabric used for the clothing is upcycled from unwanted textiles that I have collected. The hair fibers, embroidery floss, body fabrics, filling & thread is all new. I used Polyfil in my 1st 3 dolls, but now use Wool. My dolls are all named & will be restocked when sold out (ei. when Amy doll sells, I will be making more Amy dolls, but perhaps wearing different clothes). I hope in the near future to offer holiday themed dolls & custom options. I also plan on offering different outfit styles sold separately. Thank you for your patience! Doll stands for 11.5" dolls are currently free. For vid demos of how to dress dolls/use clasps etc. see my listing “Doll Dressing Demo”. More content soon on IG (link in about) Please visit my other listing “My Shop Story” to learn how I became inspired. Doll making is only 1 of my artistic interests/skills. I specialize in portraiture & am mostly a self taught artist. I am overwhelmed by the love, friendship & support I have experienced on my journey! Deepest thanks to family & friends including posh friends! Soli Deo Gloria ~TJ
