Itty Bitty Izzy Doll Challenge

Finally, Eh?.......

Here is my Itty Bitty Izzy doll for our Coffee With Tea Doll Challenge on Ebay, which starts today, June 8th. I named my Izannah Walker inspired doll Sue Ellen, she measures 6.5 inches tall. She is made of cloth, paper clay, stuffing, acrylic paint, and varnish. Sue Ellens dress is made of an embroidered fabric in pastel colors, bloomers and an apron. All her clothing are removeable with a slip of a knot. She has applied thumbs and a stockinette. She does have sausage curls and painted on boots. It sure took me long enough but i actually made deadline for our challenge.

Many Dollie hugs to you,
She will be listed on Ebay tonight and please check out the wonderful dolls the other girls have too!!!



Thanks for stoppin' by,

Paint Job

Hello everyone, here's Itty Bitty Izzy doll with her face on. I can see a few changes are needed, what do you think? I'd love to hear your honest opinion. Izannah Walker dolls in this scale are testing my nerves, not to mention that my vision sucks, and so do my paint brushes. I'm going to think possitive... atleast she looks like a frozen Charlie...hehe!!!!! Many Frozen Charlie Hugs to ya!!
Yours Always,

Nellie an Izannah walker Red Riding Hood Cloth Doll

Hello, this is the begining of Nellies cloak, I have never made one before. Not sure on the closure i will use either, but it sure is fun creating and wish some of you 'crafty' sisters where here with me! I used an old fabric, somewhat like bark cloth, very textured and hand dyed it red, and on the inside I used a wool fabric and dyed it also. The mixture is a bit different dont you think? Nellie is looking downward as to show the top of her cloak hood, is it too pointy? Any constructive critisism is much appreciated. Thank You girls for such lovely compliments on Nellie!!!!! Hope everyone is well and happy as fat puppies on a warm bed!
Many Fat Dollie Hugs to you all,
Jackie

Ms. Nellie Morgan

Here is a better picture of Nellie's face, I have sanded her and I think she looks a bit better without the gleem on her, she doesnt shine as much as the photo shows, now she has an ever so slight sheen. I wont have her 'rag pet' finished until after the holiday season.

I sure hope ya all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
Here's to playing dollies atleast once over the Holiday season!!!
Big dollie hugs to ya!!!

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
