Moon and Stars Folk Art Doll~OOAK~Sold

I am back! It's been some time since I've posted anything. The birth of my first grandchild was beautiful and so was my son's wedding in the Philippines. Now I am ready to sit at my sewing machine and make some one of a kind dolls. :o)

Here is Celeste. Celeste is a one of a kind moon and stars doll made of muslin fabric with hand sculpted paper clay head and shoulder plate. The face, arms, legs and boots were painted with acrylic paints. Stars were also painted to the top of her head and down sides of her face. Celeste has applied thumbs and measures 17 inches tall. She wears a removable clothing of lacy pantaloons, petticoat and dress. The dress is a brick red cotton print with tiny beige stars. It also has a false hem which is a contrast fabric to the dress. The same fabric as the false hem was used inside the sleeves and for her petticoat. The doll body was designed by Dixie Redmond.
Celeste has now moved to California.

12 inch Izannah Walker style doll~OOAK~SOLD

Clara is a one of a kind doll made of muslin fabric with hand sculpted paper clay head and shoulder plate. The head was sculpted over fabric, then covered again with stockinette fabric. I then painted her with acrylic paints. She was washed down with a staining mixture to give her just the right patina, aged look just like you would have taken her out of an old chest in the attic. :o) She wears painted red boots. Ringlets were also painted to the sides of her face and back of head. Clara has applied thumbs. She measures 12 inches tall. She has a second skin which covers her body and wears removable clothing of chemise, pantaloons, petticoat and dress. The dress is tiny red plaid. I added a couple some zigzag trim to the bodice and sleeves of the dress to make it look like one of Izannah Walkers doll once wore. Her pantaloons have some lace at the bottom of the legs and her petticoat was made using vintage fabric.

Primitive Witch Cook with Cookbook~OOAK~SOLD

Meet Sabrina.....she was made of muslin fabric with cotton lycra skin overlay on the face so that there isn’t any center seam. She was coffee stained and baked to give her a good ole prim look. The pictures don’t do it justice. Sabrina has cloth upper body and an open book with her favorite kitchen photo of a black cat, horn of plenty and her cauldron on the stove as the lower part of her body. She stands on an 8” round wooden base which was painted black with white spider webs. Sabrina has beautiful, acrylic green eyes and painted mouth. She has long, individual wired fingers with 3-D black fingernails and facial features that were carefully sculptured. Her arms are bent slightly so that she can hold her dress back to show her book of recipes for all seasons. She will be living in CA. :o)

Esmeralda has brown acrylic eyes and painted mouth. She is SHOCKED to feel herself melting away! Esmeralda tried to put a spell on someone and it backfired on her! Poor, poor Esmeralda. She has long, individual wired fingers with 3-D black fingernails and facial features that were carefully sculptured. One arm is bent so that she can hold herself slightly before falling over as her hip is slowly melting away. The other arm is close to her face with disbelief of what is happening to her body. The hips have melted away but the legs are still in tack with her boots curling up ever so slowly. She has now moved to NE.
