If Izannah met Ludwig would they have been friends? Some of the Greiner dolls have the same stillness of expression that you see in Izannah's dolls. It must be why I love both dollmakers' dolls. But Izannahs dolls seem more like portraits. Anyway, the doll I've been working on is a kind of Izannah-Greiner hybrid. I made a doll for the Ava Grace auction that came from the thought of the maker of Hitty and Izannah collaborating on a doll.
This is the Izzy I used as a model when I was sculpting. One thing I keep missing on my sculpts is the high broad foreheads.

Antique Izannah Walker Doll
I ended up doing a few more layers of painting on my doll - hey, if you're gonna over-paint, then really overpaint!

I'm definitely happier with her at this stage. And she's already trying on fabric so that's a good sign. Thanks for the encouragement from you artists out there!
