My latest Izannah Walker type doll...


Little Bo Peep Comes to mind?

Abigail 

Hello , I hope everyone is staying warm and comfortable, but most importantly, Healthy and Happy! Here is my latest doll,  with her second skin, arms and legs. I am slow going with this doll. I've been away from home for a few weeks. I love the way her face has turned out. Was thinking on painting her boots a deep blue, since her dress will be a primitive blue color.  
I am making her chemise right now and wanted to put pin tucks on the yoke, i had to take a break, because pin ticks drive me bonkers, for some reason! Ok, break is over, back to pin tucks...?

Queen Anne Doll Challenge...



Yes, i am starting another doll challenge, a Queen Anne Inspired type doll, should be quit a challenge and oh so different from Izannah Walker dolls. For the eyes on my Queen Anne I used old hat pins w/ black glass, because i didnt have the correct size of bead, It actually worked very well...i think, so far so good! Wish me luck as i am off to paint her!!!!!!! Many Happy Dolling Days to all of you!!!

In the second pic she has her face on, and i still need to do some touch ups here and there, but for the most part...she 'd ready to get a hair do!
 Third pic, i am trying to choose the fabric, i have some really great old tapestry fabric but its just too thick for a teeny skirt...No she's not a prom goer from the 50's wearing elbow length evening gloves, but thats what comes to my mind right off! Even this fabric is possibly too bulky, as iy makes her outer bustier  top stick out...ah whats a girls to do? HMMM?...
...She changes her skirt!!!!!!!!!! I like this one much better!!!!!!!
