Our Uses for Wool

Maiden America is owned by Babette Overman, a polymer clay artist, specializing in doll characters.

Babette's works are one of a kind collectables depicting various holidays and stories. Each character is hand sculpted from a polymer clay. The finishing work includes hand sewn costumes, shoes and wigging.

The items range in size from 6 inches
( 1:12 scale) up to as large as 24 inches. Since each character is created by hand it may take up to a week to complete a figure and truly making them one of a kind and a limited number are made each year.

The hair and beards are made from 100% wool roving from the sheep raised on the Overman sheep farm.

All other accessories are added and some are hand made by Babette and the character is then complete.
