THE
BASIC DOLL (and her 3" Doll's Doll) - The Early American
Doll Series was based on this "basic doll". It was
to begin with a basic doll - a doll that was simple and affordable,
but not plain and I wanted her appealing to the heart. Her construction
is taken from humble cloth dolls, but she becomes a little more
defined with her delicate joints and painted surface, which is
another old-time technique. She has a mohair wig and is stuffed
with real wool. Her jointed arms and legs are weighted so she
will sit well. She comes, and I like her best, in her camisole
and pantaloons, but then there is clothing to add and accessories
as well. She even has her own doll (which comes with her in the
kit). I have tried to make the kits as fool-proof as possible
with silkscreened sewing lines, premeasured stuffing amounts
and stencils for face detail. Patterns are also included for
future bodies or you can order additional silkscreens. Her 3" doll's
doll is included in the kit but sold separately if purchased
finished.

THE
COMPANION DOLL (shown at right) - This doll is proportioned
the same as the Basic Doll and clothes will be interchangeable
(only bonnets need some adjusting due to difference of head
styles), but the Companion Doll has a molded head, hands and
feet cast in papier mache which are easily painted (stencil
to help get the features right) and assembled. She too comes
in her underwear - ribbon-trimmed camisole and pantalets.
