GRANDMOTHER'S DOLL (THE ATTIC DOLL) OFFERED FINISHED OR AS A KIT

The inspiration for this doll (originally made for a convention workshop) was my interpretation of the common china doll many of our grandmothers actually played with. She turned out to be a petite 5" doll made in papier mache from my own molds with a cloth body. The special limited kit comes with the molded parts all painted by me for you to assemble in her simple cloth body, then make her simple outfit - all materials included.

THE 8" MILLINERS MODEL DOLL

FINISHED MILLINERS MODELS

Milliners Models Finished in Period Dress with Bonnet ~ No longer available finished.

THE KITS: The dolls for this new kit have papier mache heads (all molded from my own originals) with easy to carve wooden limbs and cloth bodies. I think it is a moderately easy kit and the doll is a wonderful not-too-small scale. They will have the traditional blue bands securing limbs to bodies. Kits will include parts for the dolls (head and wood arm leg and foot blanks), body fabric, wool stuffing, necessary paints to make the doll including a new paint to make cheeks easier, plus fabric & notioins for her lace trimmed undies and a special cheek brush for the best cheeks. Patterns for two outfits (one is a simple period dress shown above right, the second is her fancy gown - not shown in picture) are included for you to use with your own choice of fabrics and trims.

Wispy Curls

Sausage Curls

A 10" Izannah Walker Inspired Doll with Wardrobe ~ A fine addition to my doll kits and a wonderful doll to collect and sew for. This doll is a scaled down version who in her original size of 18" was sculpted by me carefully by measurements and shape templates from a real 21" Izannah, so she is pretty true (well, I do admit to making her more subtle ears than Izannah did). Her head is molded papier mache with a cloth body stuffed with wool. Included are special painting instructions for either wispy side curls or her signature sausage curls. Although the painting is somewhat tricky, I have simplified the methods with the help of recommended special tools so that really is not that much more than any other painted doll. Of course, I also offer pre-painting of the head as I do with all my other molded dolls. Her patterns for her wardrobe include her pantalets and camisole, petticoat, 2 dress styles, 2 aprons, her hooded cape, a hard constructed and a cloth bonnet plus her own folk cat (an accessory she is often depicted with) and a pocket. Included in the kit are also very special cotton knit and optional instructions for doing the knit-over technique if you choose.

• Pre-painting by GW for your doll kit's head: I am no longer able to offer pre-painting of the sausage curl style due to time constraints, but I still will do the wispy style, although I have changed this to one of the styles Izannah used which has always been my favorite - I call it the double wispy style. See photo below of museum Izannahs with this style. (This is the fee for painting only). Double Wispy Curls $175 Add to Cart
