12" BROOM SNOWMAN This guy is just under a foot tall and is proud
enough to be double-breasted. He has a handmade hat, his scarf is a homey
flannel denim blue homespun, he has pine green flannel mittens, a stuffed
and painted carrot nose, special old-time buttons for eyes, and guess
what - a little broom from real broomstraw and a twig. His stuffed wool
body is antiqued to soften his look and he stands on his sewn-in wooden
base.

7" PRIMITIVE SNOWMAN
Everybody loves this guy who stands by himself (with a sewn-in wooden
base), has a wooden carrot nose, holds real twigs and is dressed
in colorful homespun jacket, scarf, hat and mittens with old-time
buttons for trim. He is heavily antiqued which gives him lots of
charm.

VERY SMALLS
Three small versions of my Christmas work are made up into a 5'" stuffed
and antiqued snowman, a 5" angel in a homespun weave with painted
and antiqued wooden wings and a 6" Santa in red or pine green -
the kit has both, so it makes two Santas. All have weighted bottoms so
they will stand nicely at attention for the holidays.

needle-sculpted noses and mohair wigs with old-time buttons for trim.

14"LINSEY-WOOLSEY PRIMITIVE ANGEL
My favorite doll still of my cloth dolls is Historical Folk Doll #1,
the one with the primitive hands. Keeping her best features - the hands
and her hair (of mohair), she gets her name from the wonderful vintage
linsey-woolsey fabric that I dress the finished ones in. Since it would
be impossible to supply vintage fabric in the kit, another historic fabric,
osnaburg, is provided instead, with similar off-white and texture qualities.
She gets around by wooden wings that have been painted and antiqued and
which are held on by a hemp cord.

TREETOP ANGEL With her prim and quiet look,
the Basic Doll from the Early American Doll Series has been chosen
as the model for this important role in Christmas tradition. She has
been specially made to slide onto the top spire of the tree with a
cloth covered tube provided in the kit. To match the texture of her
body, her wings have been painted and antiqued. She is in all antique
white with an old-fashioned rolled style to her mohair wig.

11" TALL PRIMITIVE ANGEL
In my Historical Folk Doll Series there is something so appealing about
the humble simplicity and suggestion of age in these dolls that I
wanted to combine this with everyone's love of angels. She has simple
sewn features and hair, a period outfit and simple wings all heavily
antiqued. Charming year round but especially so at Christmas.

13" TALL PRIMITIVE SANTA
Santas are always popular, so I have two Santa kits. This one is taller
and dressed in a fleece-trimmed green robe overdyed for an aged look
with an old red scarf. He has a real twig staff and a sack of painted
wooden apples to help him fill his mission. His face is stitched
and has simple painting on antiqued cotton with a real wool beard.
Lots more detail than the 9" Santa below, but still not hard
to do.

9" PAINTED CLOTH SANTA
This is my original Santa dressed in old red with dark green trim. The
style of construction is as simple as it can be with a flat bottom
for standing by himself and an easy needle-sculpted nose. Faces
are painted and antiqued to look old. He has a real wool beard
and holds in his painted mitten hands a natural brush tree with
a cinnamon dough star and painted wooden base.

PAINTED CLOTH ANGELS (8"
and 5" size)
Painted and antiqued to look old, these angels have needle-sculpted noses
and mohair wigs. They are dressed in natural muslin and lace with painted
and antiqued wings. Large angel has removable natural brush tree with
a cinnamon dough star. She is a good tree-top size, while 5" ones
are great decorations or small gifts. Kit for smaller angels has enough
for three in different hair colors.

PAINTED CLOTH ANGELS IN COUNTRY COLORS
The original angels above were so popular that they were dressed up in
rich country colors. Each angel has three different tiny prints. The
8" size kit has two angels, each different, holding a cinnamon dough
heart. Smaller 5" angel kit makes three different angels.
