Hello and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all, hope that doe not offend anyone! Just a short note to remind myself what i am doing hehe... actually i have 7 dolls 'started' 2 almost finished.

My Latest doll

Hello everyone, I have made a doll from Dixie Redmond's doll class pattern and one from another pattern that i have changed a million times over the years. So for those of you who thought i didnt need to take Dixie's Doll Class, I wanted to show you the difference a great pattern makes! The doll on the left is The Dixie pattern, and the one on the right is a revised Sue Farmer Pattern (which is a great pattern in its own right).They will both be super dolls, and of course neither are near being finished, but the Dixie doll is a better "Izzy" Doll by far. I feel, that through Dixies pattern i have learned a lot, "a really alot" ( : D ) !!!!! I can only imagine what we will learn in the actual class. I am so excited about this fact and wanted to share with other doll makers and doll lovers!!!!!! Thank You Dixie for giving me the chance to test your pattern! This pattern is very simple and so easy to understand.
Many Hugs,
Jackie

Izannah Walker doll Class

Hello Fellow doll makers,and Doll Lovers and collectors alike, I have joined The Izannah Doll Workshop being offered By Dixie Redmond, It is an on-line class... I am so beside myself to be taking this class, and actually make a doll so similar to an Original. Dixie is giving the class and has studied the original dolls for years, to prepare this pattern, which she is offering with this informative class, Oh its going to be great!!!!!! If you are like me, You LOVE Izannah Walker dolls, I just have never seen one or felt an original. I am hoping this will bring my dolls closer, in appearance to the original Izannah Walker doll. Hope to see ya there!
Many 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.
