I am working on Aletha Mae and quite a few others at the present time. One of the dolls is Gloriana, a large primitive Izannah based on a antique. Pretty soon she will be shown in the same state, with gesso ,before the actual painting begins. I also made a picture of two rag dolls I like alot. One is a pinkeep, named Mrs. Pratt, who sits in a can and a regular rag doll who can sit up by herself. None of the dolls have any clothes right now. I like the bright colored dresses, but might have to start using more of the old calico's and old homespun, if I can afford to buy any, which I do like, but sometimes, they will just have to get a vintage fabric dress, these are pretty too. Yes, yes, that is me in the picture holding the doll. Fortunately, for you all, only a little of me showed up. I didn't realize i would be included. Terrible picture. HaHa. You can click on the photos to make them larger.
I can already tell Aletha Mae is going to be a beauty! Love the prim doll too. I have yet to finish the faces of the prims you sent me so I can bake them. I want to take photos of that for my blog.....baking a doll, what fun! I still plan on doing an Abe Lincoln. I picked up some black fabric for his suit. Now that I'm retired I have lost my knack for organization. Seems as though I have several things going and can't finish any of them!
ReplyDeleteThey're all wonderful! I love the sitting up doll's shape...so wonderfully lumpy and old looking. We who visit with you online so often here and on MAIDA would LOVE to have a picture of you. It's always good to have a face to go with a name. Just sayin'. ;~)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherri and Jan. I will post a picture as soon as I get us scrubbed up, hair combed and clean clothes on. Haha. My husband takes a pretty good picture, but not me.

ReplyDeleteTypos! trying again... I love seeing dolls in process, Martha. It will be fun to compare befores and afters.
ReplyDeleteHi Martha, It's been awhile since I stopped in to peek at your dolls. Your doing such lovely work. Your izzie doll has such a sweet appeal even before the paint! But I'm sure she wants a little color. Can't wait to see her finished.
