I have been on another patriotic kick lately.
These 2 dolls, America and Liberty are pet dolls with their names written across their fronts. These dolls were inspired by the pet china dolls of the late 1800's.
They are made of muslin and stuffed with fiber fill.
Their head and shoulders, lower arms and lower legs have been painted in layers, sanding between each layer and finally stained. This process gives them a wonderful antique look and the feel is much like old leather.
They are both approximately 22" tall.
There clothing has been aged, sanded,patched and stained with tea.
I tried to capture the persona of our country in these two. They both look as though they have been through some tough battles and have survived through the ages.
America and Liberty will both be posted to ebay Sunday afternoon- June 8th.
I have another little fellow I have been working on. He is a patriotic fellow - I do believe he is a member of the Sons Of Liberty.
He will be jointed with tin buttons, and have his clothing painted on. Hopefully I will be able to finish him by June 15th. I will post pics of him sometime next week.
Thank you all for peeking in! Keep coming back - you never know what is happening next.
I will be gone June 5th - through the 8th. So........ if you have any questions for me or would like to place an order go ahead and email me and I will get back to you on Monday the 9th.
