It's been a while since I've made any dolls......but, I'm back into creating again. This is a Santos style cage doll that I wanted to try. The head is made of paper clay, cloth body with button joints at the shoulders and wooden ball joints at the elbows. The cage is made of wood and painted with acrylic paints. The doll is also painted with acrylics and stained to give it a vintage look. This doll has now moved to CT.

My third Izannah Walker style doll. Bertha is a one of a kind doll made of muslin fabric with hand sculpted paper clay head and shoulder plate. The head was covered with stockinet fabric, then painted in acrylics. The face, arms, legs, socks and boots were painted with acrylic paints. Ringlets were also painted to the sides of her face and back of head. The colors were sealed with an acrylic sealer. Bertha has applied thumbs and applied coiled ears just like Izannah Walker did with her dolls. She measures 17 inches tall. She is a one of a kind doll and has moved to AR. :o)my auctions

Anna is a one of a kind doll made of muslin fabric with hand sculpted paper clay head and shoulder plate. The head was sculpted over fabric, then painted in acrylics. She was washed down with a staining mixture to give her just the right patina, aged look just like you would have taken her out of an old chest in the attic. :o) The face, arms, legs and boots were painted with acrylic paints. Ringlets were also painted to the sides of her face and back of head. Anna has applied thumbs. She measures 14 inches tall. She has now moved to AZ. :o)

Izannah Walker Inspired Doll~OOAK~SOLD



This is my first Izannah Walker style doll after taking an online class with Dixie Redmond. I had fun sculpting her face with paper clay and then covering it up with stockinet fabric. She was a challenge and a learning experience for me. I'll be making more. :o) Ella is now living in California.my auctions

Folk Art Antique looking boy doll~OOAK~SOLD



I'm hooked on working with paper clay. Here is my second attempt to make an antique style doll. Thought I'd make a boy this time. He's wears a velour suit which looks like the ones boys wore in the 1800's. He has a paper clay head and shoulder plate. Painted him with acrylics and gave him a bit of crackling for that aged look. Now moved to California with the previous doll and her dollie. :o)

Both dolls are made of muslin with paper clay heads. I painted the heads, arms and legs with acrylics and did a bit of crackling on them. Now moved to California.my auctions
