SARAH A DOLL SET

Sarah is the first of many Doll Sets I hope to create
As a child I loved dolls that came with trunks and cases
filled with outfits
So now as a collector of Art Dolls
I translated the idea into
hand made
doll art

Japanese paper clay ball jointed child doll

with a magical trunk filled with fabulous outfits

a fairy outfit with gorgeous wings



pink knit bed jacket and ruffled bloomers
and matching leggings

crepe silk day dress
with pink hi-tops sneakers


Sarah's favorite sparkle wings

Everything a little girl needs for a day of magical dress-up

Sarah is 11 inches, with Sunshine curls
and comes with three outfits and a handmade trunk
and she is in my

DOLL JOINTS & BIG BIRD

I had re-do the joints on Sarah
so much better
still trying to develop a primitive doll
style

While Sarah was posing
so was the big Sandhill Crane
this bird comes into the yard
twice a day




she is already for hair and some fun outfits
as for the Crane, it is looking for a mate and sees its reflection in the
windows, must like what it sees!

WIP SARAH

Back to work
or back to play
Sarah my child set


stringing test
and a magical suitcase


the more I create these ball jointed dolls
the more they are starting to look like
the Scandinavian marionettes of my childhood
memories creeping into my
art work

perched in the trees
watching the world
