Past works of art...Little Red Riding Hood

While i am working on this Izannah Walker doll I thought i'd post a past work of Art. I like this doll, not even sure i would change anything on her, her size 27 inches, is just like the one i am working on now, but for some reason this WIP is giving me fits! Anyways, her is my Little Red Riding hood Doll from years back.

Izannah Walker Cage Doll dress colors

Hello, and welcome to my plain-n-simple doll makers blog. Here is my Izannah Walker reproduction doll and her dress. Do like the fabric i chose, my brother said he wasnt to taken with it until he saw the dress on her. Here she is on her cage and she stands 16 1/2 inches tall. She hasnt gotten her thumbs applied yet, so she has no way to tell me thumbs up or thumbs down.
Many hugs,

Itty Bitty Izzy Fabric

Here is another choice of fabric, not sure yet, if i really like it though. I dont think i have ever had such a time picking a fabric for a doll. Oh My Word...It seems like there is just not enough hours in a weekend to do everything huh?...
Hope everyone is well!!!!
Many Doll Hugs,

This is my third choice, if it doesnt work i'm throwin' in the towel....








Well, Hello, Everyone, I wanted to share with you the fabric I chose for my Itty Bitty Izzy doll dress. At first i chose a white cheese cloth type fabric with green specks that was sent to me by a fanatstic doll maker, Shirley Walker, but after working with it and 'TRYING' to make an Izzy dress from it, i changed my mind, I just couldnt do it. So now I chose a vintage grey and maroon striped cotton fabric for Itty, which i named Sue Ellen, i believe that a doll doesnt truly reveal its self until its named, which was told to me by another doll maker named Edyth,well atleast thats what i think Edyth was tring to say. Do you think the colors i have chosen are complimentary? Sue Ellen's arms are not painted yet, only gessoed.Oh yes, I also changed Sue Ellens hair, she now has signature ringlets infront of her applied ears. Her slip doesnt have closers yet so she looks alittle chunky, but she not.
I hope everyone is as happy as pie, and healthy as oxens!
Many Dollie Hugs,

Hello, I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, and a peaceful Easter.
Here is a progress picture of my attempt at our Coffee With Tea (CWT) Itty Bitty Izzy Doll challege. I thought forsure i wasnt going to be able to keep the look of an Izannah Walker doll in such a small scale, but i kept some of the features, and I am so proud of my self, I DID NOT use a pattern. She is 6 inches tall, and here she is, just after putting on her stockinette. Sorry the picture is so dark, i had to darken it up, as to show her features. Hopefully you can see what i am talking about. Let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from you!!!

Nellie as Little Red Riding Hood

Nellie, a reproduction Izannah Walker doll, will be wearing a Little read Riding Hood cloak. I dont want to change her name but i could call her Little Nellie Riding Hood? What do ya think? I've made her a red cloak lined with wool fabric,and i was also thinking about changing her hair line at the top of her forhead, it doesnt look right to me, I'd love to hear what you think, so please drop me a note if you have a moment.
Many Dollie Hugs,

Cloth Doll Progress...

Hello, I hope all is well for everyone. I have been working on my cloth Izannah Walker doll I named Nellie. I was rather proud of her until I showed her to my co-workers. The first word out of the majority of them was, "Oh Freaky man" Yes, this didnt do much for my doll-making confidence, I have to say, but i still think she's cute for and Izzy doll!

Anyway, here are some pictures for you to critique, even if you think she's 'freaky man', I'd still love to hear what you think about her.

Just as soon as I get a simple gown made for her, I will be listing her on Ebay, so please stay tuned for Nellie.

Many Best Holiday wishes to everyone,

Big Fat Dollie Hugs To Ya,

Always
