Alvilde - Nisse (Norwegian Elf)


We use no molds for our figures, which means each face is different. This is what makes each handmade doll unique. While the faces of the men elf dolls do vary a little, the faces and the hair of the lady dolls vary greatly from doll to doll, so each lady doll's face is photographed individually.

Alvilde is an ornament maker. As the holiday season approaches, she can can be found in her workshop, busily making the festive creations that will soon adorn the colorful Christmas trees and snow outlined windows of many little homes.

Alvilde is wearing a yarn-dyed cotton flannel skirt in shades of red and green, and an organic cotton knit shirt. She has a cotton apron edged with Swedish cotton trim and a Swedish woven cotton sash. A yarn-dyed flannel shawl keeps her snug. She has beige cotton velveteen legs, and is covered with handstitched patches. She wears an organic cotton fleece hat, topped with an organic cotton yarn tassel. A silver glass drop necklace completes her outfit.

From one arm Alvilde holds a festive holiday horse ornament, that she has made from bamboo felt, and embellished with Swedish trim, glass beads and organic cotton yarn.

All of our figures are 100% vegan. Large nisser come with solid, cedar wood seats (shown below), and Legend of the Nisse story tags.



We individually handsculpt each Alvilde's face using felt over clay. Her eyes are handblown/handpainted German glass. Her hair is made from natural flax fiber (grey) or natural hemp fiber (creamy white). She is stuffed with a combination of glass pellets and organic cotton stuffing. Her arms are wired. Alvilde is 14" tall (12" when seated), as measured from the top of her head (not the top of her hat) to the bottom of her boots.
