MY LOVE OF RAG DOLLS

My love of rag dolls
started as a child
as soon as I could thread a needle
I started sewing
soft little
dolls

thought it was time to revisit
my old favorite

a flat pattern or pan-cake doll
with a little shapely
sculpting

dressed in pretty dancing dresses
of the Deco period 1920's
sweet little painted faces

a larger doll
14 inches
similar to the smaller dolls I created 20 years ago

and my logo
the face I paint on every doll
as a signature
seems like such a long time ago
when I designed
my face
painting this sweet little face
that always makes me smile
these three Deco Dollies are in my shop
Happy Valentine's Day
