Izannah Rag Doll Pinkeep
I made, or thought I made a normal headed rag doll to give to a friend of mine, but something happened. Somewhere along the way, the pattern went wonky and this girl came out with a small head and tiny neck. ( what happened? ) HaHa. I started to discard the doll altogether, but she was kind of cute after I got her painted, so I made a pinkeep out of her. I intended to make a good rag doll with the gusset in the head to make the head deeper, but ended up with this doll. She will be a faithful helper to any person who sews, keeping the pins at the ready all the time. Her dress is a really old calico that I have no idea where or when I got it. I made some adjustments and put it on her with her quilted pinkeep. She do
es boast a pretty slip underneath her dress too.

Martha, She may be a mistake, but she sure turned out absolutely darling. What a cute idea to make her a pin keep. The rick rack is a nice touch on the fabric. I love her painted face.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm soooo glad you didn't disgard her! When I saw her on my dashboard of photos...I thought "oh how darling" (before reading about your mistake). She has such a delightful country charm about her, lovely folk art.

As always, your painting is magnificent. So warm and folky...I'm glad you kept her!
ReplyDeleteMartha, she is just adorable and seem bent on keeping her little pillow safe in her arms.
ReplyDeleteIf you call this doll wonky, then I like wonky...so sweet. I love her painted face and her skinny neck and her old calico dress, too.
