These are the first
dolls I ever made.
The baby dolls and bear
are from a pattern
by Antonette Cely
designed expressly
for making dolls to give
to a needy child.
The two primitives
are stitched entirely
 by hand; their patterns
are by E.J. Taylor.
All of these dolls
were donated to our
local Rainbow Room
 

My own designs.
The three smaller
dolls are from my
fracTalisman line of
dolls in which I print my
fractal designs to fabric
and make the dolls from
that fabric.
The two larger dolls
have computer generated
faces printed to fabric.

Kookopolo
My interpretation
of a pattern by
Li Hertzi

Milli  reigning over her milieu.
She is a French Boudoir doll that I made
for Judi Ward's Milli class from a pattern
by Judi Ward.
The doll has fully articulated fingers, a head that turns,
finger nails extending beyond the tips of  her fingers, attached eyelids,  real eyelashes and lightly needle sculpted face that
I painted with acrylic paints.
She has a little heart tattoo on her right thigh.
 

Her fancy shoes.

Milli is wearing a dress of cream lace and satin brocade with a skirt yoke
of striped metallic fabric that gradates from burgundy to red to orange. Her underskirt is
of burgundy tulle.
She wears a little pearl and ruby choker and a chiffon bow and spray of pearls  in her hair.
I  added   pearl trim
and roses to Milli's décolleté neckline.
