Grace, a Patriotic cloth doll on eBay!

I made a Patriotic cloth doll named Grace last week and listed her on eBay last night. She is my second Patriotic doll for sale on eBay this year.
Grace's face has been needle sculpted. She has button jointed arms and bendable legs. I loved creating her and am very happy with the way she turned out.
She is looking forward to celebrating July 4th this year and many more to come! She is a happy girl and will bring the lucky winner lots of joy and happiness!

Below are a couple of pictures of Grace...

An Izannah Walker inspired doll and a Columbian cloth doll

I wanted to share a couple of pictures of my work in progress.



One is an Izannah Walker inspired doll. I hand sculpted the head using paper clay. I think she would like to be Red Riding Hood. I had other plans for her when I had just started sculpting her, but at present she is begging to be a Red Riding Hood doll. What don't I do for my dollies!

The other is a Columbian style cloth doll made from a pattern by Susan Fosnot. Her face has been hand painted using oil colors.



Both the dolls are missing their limbs at present. I will be working on them next week. So please check back soon if you wish to see the progress on these dolls.

Thanks!
