18" IZANNAH WALKER INSPIRED DOLLS


18" IZANNAH WALKER INSPIRED DOLL KIT

This is a molded head Izannah Walker inspired doll made from months of study of a real (and quite wonderful) 21" antique Izannah Walker from the collection of my old friend and well-known dollmaker, R John Wright. From my studies, I sculpted the head you see here plus used it in scaled down versions for my many smaller Izannahs. The molded papier mache head is covered in special cotton knit, like the originals, with a cloth body intended to be 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. Patterns include her basic wardrobe: petticoat, pantalets, dress, apron and bonnet, plus an alternate boys outfit. The making of this kit was due in part to fill a need for dollmakers to make a nice version of a pretty true Izannah look without having to sculpt a doll by themselves. Cloth body fabric, special knit for head and paints provided plus undies fabric, leather for shoes, knit for stockings and all notions. You provide wool stuffing (about 8 oz) and outer garments fabrics. Price of the kit $175. Being discontinued; last ones on sale and available on the sale page.

• Pre-paintingby 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 one of the styles Izannah used which has always been my favorite - I call it the double wispy style. (This is the fee for painting only and sale discount does not apply). Double Wispy Curls $245 Add to Cart


• Recommended Special tools (besides the ordinary ones needed) available on the Supplies pages: 1/8" Comb Brush, New Comb Brush Tool plus click here to see the pointy Q-tips and make-up brushes that will make your work easier.

HITTY SIZE (6.5") IZANNAH WALKER DOLL

The doll receiving the most "must haves" at the 2018 UFDC Convention Sales Room in my booth was the Hitty size Izannah Walker I have been promising. This first one will come as pictured but there will be many more outfits to choose from later once she (and he) is in full production, plus most of Hitty's clothes will fit not to mention all of Hitty's accessories and furniture. She will come with a stand and the tiny cat.
These dolls are now discontinued.

IZANNAH WALKER 6" BOY
The new smaller boy will look like this but like the Hitty size girl, will have molded arms and legs with cloth body between. Elements of his outfit are still awaiting arrival of new fabrics and will be a new design but similar to historical boy's outfits of the times. He will also have his own accessory of a small wooden wagon filled with blocks.

• Choice of color scheme of browns
• Choice of color scheme of blues

These dolls are now discontinued.

This is a picture of my 8" Izannah Walker boy and the new one will be smaller in the Hitty size of 6.5" as a companion to the very popular Hitty-size Izannah Girl.

 

A NEW SIZE IZANNAH (12")
This is a molded head Izannah Walker made from months of study of a real (and quite wonderful) antique Izannah Walker from the collection of my old friend and well-known dollmaker, R John Wright. This size, 12", is, like the 18", 10", 8" and 6.5" sizes I do, is a reduced version of my own sculpting of that doll. She has the traditional knit over on her molded head and a cloth body with the separately attached thumbs. This first new addition is dressed in wonderful pinks with a windowpane voile apron, lace trimmed and pin-tucked camisole, petticoat and pantalets and real leather 4 button boots. Or, the doll in her 3-piece undies, shoes and stockings is also available.

These dolls are now discontinued.
