Mandy's baby

Hello everyone, here is my latest Izzy. She doesnt have a name, yet, I will leave that up to her new mamma. I really love the way this Izzy is shaping up and coming to life. She's a big girl of 25 inches. Let me know what you think, please keep in mind she is a diamond in the rough, and her paint job is not finished. Have you ever been tempted to keep one of your own dolls? This one, is that close....: D
Many Bests to ya,
Jackie


Here is the colors that I will be working w/ Not sure about the tan color yet,but the top tan strip will be smaller, hopefully, when i am finished... but I am trying to get the Ella dress 'look', and I am not seeing it. I am also seeing that i need to lower her hairline as well. I am working on her second pair of arms, one was too big and the other too small, kinda like Goldilocks...
Hugs,
Jackie
I need to clear my doll stuff off the table for now, till after Thanksgiving, on which i hope everyone has a overwhelming heaping amount of love and family during this wonderful day!!!

A Prairie doll perhaps?

I painted this doll in hopes to make a prairie doll, but i might have given her too many details? She will have really simple clothing and will be sanded a roughed up a bit, too.. What are your thoughts on her?
Hugs,
Jackie

Sarah~ tuff as homemade soap

Sarah Is SOLD Thank You!!!!

Everyone would say under their breathe, "oh, that poor little thing", in reference to Sarah before she moved out West on the wagon train, "Dont worry about her, she's tuff as homemade soap, that one is"! Sarah didnt feel as strong as the Lye that her 'mam put in soap, but she always accepted it, and took it as a challenge to always stay strong and to never waiver.
Hello and Welcome to my first doll sale on my blog, Please meet Sarah, she is a child doll done in Izannah Walker Style, and she is 13 inches tall. She is a prairie girl at heart! She comes with her very own 7 inch tall prairie doll that her mom pieced together out of discarded cloth. Sarah treasures this doll, and keeps her close always. I have used antique to vintage fabric when ever possible.
Sarah is a clay over cloth, she has a 'second skin' on her torso, and an applied thumb, as Izannah Walker did with her cloth folk art dolls. This dollie has a stockinette and her boots are paint in the same fashion as well. She comes with her bloomers (which are crotchless as was the pantaloons of the era), her bonnet to keep the sun off of the back of her neck while she walk, at times, on the trail. I did slightly dye her muslin body as well. Sarah is a solid long lasting quality folk art heirloom doll, and has been varnished, sealed and signed by me Jackie Plain-n-Simple. All of Sarah's clothing are removable, and if you'd like to see more pictures, please do email me. If you are interested in purchasing Sarah, please. I will gift wrap her in her own special box just in time for Christmas.
