My latest creation, Abigail,
is inspired by wooden dolls
of the early 1800's.
She is made from a furniture
finial with paperclay additions.
She is mounted on an antique
rolling pin which is then mounted
on a dowel and stand.

I've designed her so that the dress
and arms of the doll are removable,
so she can be presented as a primitive
figure or as a wooden inspired doll.

She is painted with many washes of
quality artist's paints, and is scuffed
and sanded here and there to give
her an aged appearance.

reproduction fabric. I think Abigail
would look wonderful in a home
all year long, but especially during
this holiday season.
Click on any of the pictures
to go to the Northdixie Mercantile,
where she can be purchased.
Merry Christmas!
