2young40heart.jpg
 Pattern covers the basics in doll making.  She has a sculpted face, and simple body structure with defined joints at elbows and knees.  Her hi heels are painted on with acylic paint, and she wears an optional large felt hat.  She likes to be dressed in different (but complimentary) prints, and she doesn't mind if you giggle at her little yoyo bosoms!

Mitzie
14 Inches  Advanced

 She's a real swingin Angel...she's constructed so her head and body swing and sway, making her look as though she's actually flying!  The idea for Mitzie came from seeing a neighbor's vinyl doll  whose head bobbed.  She likes to wear bright colors, and has bikini pants under her boufant skirt. She is shown in Sumer 2005 issue of Quilting Arts Magazine on the opening page of their Guardian Angels challenge.  

Pattern:  $10.00  Doll: $75.00 (right now she's one-of-a-kind, but too much fun to not be made again!

Big John
18 inches Advanced

He's a cowboy, he's a trucker, he's a man who wears a dress shirt, jeans and cowboy boots. Big John has ears, and is sculpted so the stitches are hidden behind them, which allows him to have a receding hairline. (Lots of my men dolls do, why should they not have their imperfections emphasized?)  His articulated hands can hold a rope, cup of coffee, or just be positioned in any pose you desire.  I have made him so his boots and legs are all put together in one piece, and he's constructed to stand on his own so he can be posed in different positions. I will have other versions of John in my completed dolls section.

Chubby Cherubs
4 Inches of fun  click photo for larger image

These Chubby Cherubs are fun little dolls who offer many possibilities.  They can be used as a decoration, or made into a pin.  I wear a necklace with her hanging from a small board printed with "I Still Play With Dolls" on it.  Since she is as cute from the back as she is in the front, she is most appreciated when displayed so you can see all sides of her including that cute tush.  The body is made of a knit with chenille inside to pose her.

Kitchen Angel
12 Inches  Beginner through Advanced

A friends request for a Kitchen Angel (as opposed to a witch) brought about this 12 inch version. Pattern includes instructions for painting her face to give her that sweet angelic look.  She holds a wood spoon carved from a craft stick, and has curly yarn hair.  She can also be made as a Garden Angel, Teacher, etc. by changing her utinsel.

 She loves to dress in fancy clothes and of course wear a lovely red hat, therefore this pattern not only has the pretty sitting doll but also includes idea for several hats for her to wear.  Although she is shown with a feather boa there is also a sleeve which can be made to give her a different look.  

 Pattern $9.25 Doll  $60.00   Also available a pattern with several hats including one of wired ribbon and a felt cowboy hat  $4.00

Elizabeth Water Aerobics Lady
16 Inch  Intermediate

Probably one of  my most popular dolls!  Elizabeth seems to remind us all of someone we know.  Her exaggerated bosoms, full round figure and cellulite legs give her real charm!  She is fashioned after a wondrful 86 year old lady in my water aerbobics classes.  She was featured in Soft Dolls & Animals!  Magazine. I have several versions of her, which may be seen at on my picturetrail site. 
If you are making her yourself.... Bet you can't make just one of her!

madge.jpg

Madge
12 Inches Tall and not telling how big around!
 Advanced

 Madge was probably one of my better "mistakes".  While working on another doll I had in mind, the body was not quite right for it...however it was too precious to toss aside, so once I got the doll I wanted done, I took the discarded body, and voila! Madge was born.  Like so many of us, her body parts are  not exactly what they say is ideal, but that does not make her any less adorable.  She wears bikini panties, and a sheer cover.  Her slippers are made of felt and fur so you can see her painted toe nails.  Madge is constructed so she can stand alone.
Madge & Midge appeared in SD&A

Pattern $9.00 Completed doll $60.00 (she has a  blonde sister Midge in purple also available.)

Angelina
5 Inches  Beginner through Advanced

Angelina is another fun project.  She's also happy as a decoration or used as a pin.  She's constructed of muslim with painted simple face. Her arms and legs are attatched with thread so they move.

The Shopper
18 Inches     Advanced

 Wired so she can stand among her shopping bags, with her purse on her arm and her credit card held tightly in her articulated fingers.  She wears a watch (although time is not important to her) and lots of jewelry.  Her face is sculpted and painted with pens and acrylics. Her eyes are acrylic inserted into her face to give her that glazed "wild shopper" look!  We've all been there,right?  She likes to wear the latest clothes...pattern includes pull on shirt, and skirt.  Hi heel shoes are painted with acylic, and her legs are made with a printed fabric to give her that designer look.  Her hair is acrylic curls, combed and arranged so she looks like she's been busy!  The credit card is cut from an old card that needed to be destroyed.
