I look for your work often. Patience reminds me of you every day. She says Hi mom!<BR/>I have been thinking about making a doll for a long time, and now I am starting to look for patterns. I wanted to ask you for any recommendations on finding a good pattern of an early American type body, similar to Patience or an Izannah type. Any help would be much appreciated!

Most of my dolls have several faces under their many layers of paint.

For me, clown dolls are a double whammy!!<BR/><BR/>I can remember being a little girl and laying awake at night watching my doll. I always slept with one of my dolls. I would watch her and almost dare her to blink or move her head. Once, just once, I think she twitched. Just a little twitch, just enough to make me question my sanity.<BR/><BR/>I stopped sleeping with my dolls at that point. I brought my soft little stuffed panda bear to bed with me instead. <BR/><BR/>Kim<BR/>Garden Painter Art<BR/>gnarly-dollsGerushia's New Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12713969143534150191noreply@blogger.com
