Izannah Walker Inspired doll~OOAK~SOLD

This is my second Izannah Walker inspired doll made with a pattern designed by Dixie Redmond. I'm loving the way these are starting to turn out. She's looking pretty much like an Izannah doll to me. :o) Isabel 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. 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. Isabel has applied thumbs and applied coiled ears just like Izannah Walker did with her dolls. She has now moved to the UK.my auctions

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 Queen of Hearts Doll~Paper Clay Head~OOAk~SOLD

This sweet doll was made of muslin fabric with hand sculpted head and chest plate. The body was designed by Jane Derosier (Gritty Jane) and was so much fun to put together! I thought she looked a bit like Naomi Judd so her name is Naomi. :o) She has painted top, stocking and shoes. Her skirt was coffee stained and baked to give it a good ole prim look. I sculpted her hair to look like a heart surrounding her face. The locks of hair also form another small heart on her chest. :o) This little gal has now moved to California along with a couple of the other dolls. :o) 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)

Primitive Folk Art, Antique Style Doll with her little dollie~SOLD

Thought I'd do a little practicing with paper clay before I actually take an online class with Dixie Redmond on making Izannah Walker style dolls. This is what I've come up with. 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

Primitive ASL Raggedy Ann doll~OOAK~SOLD

American Sign Language Raggedy Ann is a one of a kind doll and was handmade using best quality fabrics. She was made of muslin fabric and has a round head. Raggedy Ann was coffee stained and baked to give her a good ole prim look. The pictures don’t do it justice. She has painted facial features and painted stockings and shoes. She has individual wired fingers with painted fingernails too! One arm is bent slightly so that she can make a few of her signs. Her head is filled with red fun yarn that was stitched to her head one strand at a time. Raggedy Ann wears a dress with tan background and small flowers for the print. She has now moved to WA. :o)

Folk Art Angel~Hope~ OOAK Mixed Media Painting~SOLD

This was an old shudder door which I removed the inside from and added a ¼ inch plywood. The textured background was painted in acrylics with various colors and designs. I then painted a sweet folk art angel named "Hope." She wears a ¼ inch thick polymer clay dress which has a small metal embellishment that says "Hope". The dress has lots of texture and embellishments, sprinkled lightly with glitter. The frame was painted barn red and crackled. The whole piece measures 26 x 9 x ¾ inch thick. Lots of detail to this One of a Kind Mixed Media Art. Will now be hanging in CA.
