SPECIALS FOR THE MAKERS OF MY KITS - OLD DISCONTINUED KITS AVAILABLE
 o
A continuation of a procrastination project to hoe out the many boxes of parts of discontinued kits and their finished versions mostly for cloth dolls. It is daunting to pick through deciding what can be sold or given away or sadly taken to the dump. These are some of much more to come as I get more time. When partially worked dolls are included, I figure there are those out there who know my work and can make use of.
The kits listed below (between the dotted lines) only have ONE of each available. Each is a complete kit with original materials and all paints have been replaced with fresh. All prices shown will not have further discounts.
Please note that I will be adding to this list more items in time.

TWO NOAH'S ARKS KITS BEING DISCONTINUED
SPECIAL
EDITION PULLTOY NOAH'S ARK
This is a favorite revisited from
my old discontinued kits. This pulltoy ark set is very small
and is a good sized toy for smaller dolls especially the Early
American Series or even Hitty, but could be a good toy for
any size doll or Santa. Kit has pulltoy ark with wheels, Noah,
and 4 sets of animals on small bases plus complete paints and
instructions. A pretty easy kit in spite of scale. Ark is about
2 inches long and animals are less than 1/2" tall. Kits were $48.
Kits now discontinued and on sale for $32 Add

LITHOGRAPHED STYLE NOAH'S ARK & STACK OF BLOCKS SET
This classic
toy made in doll scale for use as a display item in doll settings.
Pre-cut wooden pieces are first painted then the printed lithograph-inspired
pieces are cut out and "wall papered" to the wooden
pieces. A stack of wooden blocks has all sides papered with
the two-by-two animals that are part of this Biblical story
with all that you need except scissors. Kit for Ark and Blocks Set was $48.

FROM THE EARLY AMERICAN SERIES
THE 9" COMPANION DOLL
:
|
SELLING OUT AND DISCONTINUING THIS OLD FAVORITE KIT
THE 9" COMPANION DOLL - This doll was created to be a companion to the Basic Doll (who is all cloth) from the Early American Doll Series. She is proportioned the same as the 9" Basic Doll and so clothes will be interchangeable (only bonnets need some adjusting due to difference of head styles). The molded head, hands and feet are cast in papier mache which are easily painted (stencil to help get the features right) and assembled with her cloth body. She comes with materials to make her underwear - ribbon-trimmed camisole and pantalets plus patterns for her outfit shown in the drawing below.
Kit for Companion Doll was $84, on sale for $72 Add to Cart

FROM THE HISTORICAL PAPER DOLL SERIES:
THE DISPLAY SIZE FASHION DOLL KIT BEING DISCONTINUED
The world of paper dolls is nearly as extensive as the world of real dolls. How charmed we can become with the possibilities that only paper can provide reasonably. I have spent a lot of delightful time studying resources where collections of old paper dolls have been assembled and presented in books and museums to be enjoyed anew. I have taken my own illustrations and developed them into paper dolls with a care to periods of style in costume and method of presentation. The original tiny paper dolls are also double sided with wood backings with slotted wood bases to hold them up, but come with outfits (fronts and backs) plus storage envelopes and a tiny gift box. This larger size was originally only a display piece to sell the tiny dolls, but so many wanted both that I also put this larger size of just the doll into production. She is intended only as a display piece and not a playworthy paperdoll with outfits. Kit was $18.

SPECIAL DEALS ON LEFTOVER PAINT BRUSHES |
SETS OF 4 ASSORTED FILBERT BRUSHES:
Filberts are flat brushes with curved bristle ends. Like all flat brushes, they are good for spreading paint but they shine spreading paint along a doll's hairline due to the curved outer edges eliminate the problem of stray bristles rounding a curve getting paint where you don't want it. Also useful for dry brushing. Set has 2 large(1/4"), 1 med (3/16") and 1 small (1/8"). This is a value of over $25, but on sale for $12 for the set. Add to Cart
SET OF 2 RAKE or COMB BRUSHES:
Rake (or also called comb) brushes are for painting in the strokes that look like hair on dolls such as Columbians and Izannah Walkers. They are constructed of alternating small clumps of long and short bristles. The longer bristles absorb and transmit the paint (usually somewhat thinned down) leaving spaces where the shorter bristles don't touch. This is a value of over $27, but on sale for $8 for the set of 2 that are 1/4" size. Best used on dolls over 12" tall. Add to Cart |

MOHAIR FOR DOLL HAIR - This is a smooth but not the silky more realistic kind known as "English" mohair and therefore best for cloth dolls.It is slightly woolier than the English, but much easier to work with. You can see it here in auburn on a Basic Doll and it was also used for Lotties and many of my angels.
SPECIAL OFFER - I have a huge supply of the Auburn and Brown roving from the old days of many kits having it included in the kit supplies, and need to clear out some. 5 yard bags $10.95. REDUCED MORE TO $8.95

CURLY SHEEP'S WOOL FOR SANTA BEARDING
We have been accumulating a lot of the fleeces used for Santa bearding and storing excess in the attic. Then forgetting and ordering more when it is available since it is hard to get this specific type (Border Leicester). When it comes, I have to wash it before I sell it. This is not hard and all of this is as it comes from the sheep. I am selling it very cheap in 1 pound bags you will have to wash yourself with the simple instructions included. You can do this by hand or even in your washing machine. Not all wool is perfect curls and some is dirtier than others, but I have found it cleans up nicely and will make many many Santas. To give you an idea we sell onlu a couple of ounces of washed and picked over curls for a few santas @ $10.95. These one pound bags are on sale for $16 (average market price is $32/pound). Add
