MAKER .......................... Ruby Ruth dolls ...and their ambitions ‘Polly once asked Jarvis Cocker to dance at a party but he said no.’ ‘Ingrid enjoys contemplating the size of the universe while doing her weekly shop at Lidl.’ ‘Ray hasn’t missed Glastonbury since 1971.’ These are Jenny Mustill’s creations: the Ruby Ruth dolls. Each of the thirty-odd characters comes with its own name and one-line bio. “Malcolm and Rita have been the most popular,” Jenny says. “Malcolm looks out to sea for answers, and Rita believes in love at first sight.” The couple’s popularity spiked when they were picked up by local vlogger Zoella; they now feature alongside her waxwork in Madame Tussaud’s. Jenny started making the dolls with a group of friends after she graduated, selling them at local market stalls. The markets went well and she started travelling with them to festivals, setting up shop in a tipi. “The bodies used to be made out of my old cast-off clothes,” she says, “and the hats were made out of old recycled jumpers.” The characters and designs have changed a lot over the years. Jenny’s very first doll, who still lives with her in her studio in the Rodhus building on Hollingdean Road, is small enough to lie in the palm of her hand; some of the recent additions to the Ruby Ruth family stand at several feet tall. One of the characteristics that has stayed is their giant button eyes, although Jenny now has to improvise when it comes to the larger dolls: “The really big ones have to be laser cut, and then I melt them in the oven to make them dome-shaped,” she explains. Their hats still are made out of recycled jumpers, although the increased demand for the dolls means that the rest of the fabrics now come in on rolls. “We’re organising an open day here on the 2nd,” Jenny says. “It’ll be the first ever Rodhus open day, and an opportunity to meet everyone. There’s The Private Press, Little Deer (industrial-style interiors company), the pottery upstairs, jewellers, chocolatiers, upholsterers, light designers, coffee roasters from Coffee at 33…” It sounds like the perfect local-Christmas-shopping opportunity.
