I haven't written about my dolls in awhile so decided today for Show & Tell I would share my favorite one with you. This is the largest one I made. I named all my dolls when I made them, and for a long time I remembered all their names. Now I can only remember a few of them. Should have written them down, but who knew I would forget an important thing like that. Anyway, since this is my favorite, you would think I would have remembered her name, but I don't. After all, it's been over 20 years since I made them. One unique thing about this doll is her body. I made it out of white kid leather and stuffed it with sifted sawdust. If I was a little more ambitious I would go upstairs, undress her and take a picture of her lovely body. But, alas, I am not that ambitious. She also has what is known as paperweight eyes. They're the most expensive kind, so only a few of my dolls have them.
This is a Christmas outfit I made for her one year.
At the very bottom of my blog is a scrapbook of most of the dolls I made. Thank you for letting me share them with you.
She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! We not only are sharing 2008 as our 50th but both of us showed dolls today:o) Mine is sweet but yours is beautiful.
