Sorry I'm late with a promised post every day to celebrate Halloween but yesterday was quite a busy computer-busy day, a couple of my pals would agree and forgive me I think.
Today I'm switching from rugs and mats to dolls. This one may have been one-of-a-kind (can't remember). So is she a Pumpkin Witch or a Pumpkin Fairie ~ How would you identify her?
Making dolls was fun for a while and made a variety of them. My favorite style was primitive and here are a few examples. The first photo are huge dolls and I always named them. This is Socrates and Jubilee Jones.
While some like big dolls others prefer smaller ones so I made this one which was snapped up quickly. I named her Polly Anna and the date on the photo was 2001, wow, 19 years ago.
Then I did some minis which were quite popular like these babes in a row. This photo was from 2002.
Also did a few vintage reproductions like the Columbian style dolls, both of those sold.
I made two of the Columbian Dolls below and dressed them in vintage child clothing, one was purchased by my Aunt and I kept one which sits in my living room in an antique rocker but not this one.
There are a few left which didn't sell when I decided to stop doing shows and perhaps one day I'll take the time to photo them and list them on ebay.
Happy Friday; it's a wet one here so am hoping to pull a few loops and chill. And will be happy to do so since I didn't sleep well last night. The prednisone and caladryl just isn't working fast enough for me.

Oh you are surely forgivin....I hope I am. ;-) Wow...you have quite the talent!! Those babes in a row are so very realistic.....but I bet you can't guess which is my favorite. And I would call her a pumpkin fairie angel..... Woke up to white on the snow on the ground (ok, I lied....there was snow on the ground at the time that I would get up had I actually slept).... We are to get up to 2" of snow tonight. I know it won't stick around long, but it still makes me wince....and shiver.... Hope the itch and spread is subsiding at this point. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteYou sure are talented!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautys,,,,
Hope u feel better!
After looking at it a couple of times, my vote is for Pumpkin Fairy. I'm not quite sure why though...
ReplyDeleteOooops - that should be Fairie
ReplyDeleteWow! If you ever got the urge to create more dolls they would be best sellers.
ReplyDeleteHope the meds are helping!
