Bebe


This is "Bebe" made from a pattern by Barbara Willis (http://www.barbarawillisdesigns.com/). She is only 8" from the top of her head to the bottom of her skirt. Fun to make and I think she's pretty cute.

Doll remade/finished

This is a doll I started at the Campbell Folkschool in June and I finally re-did and finished her - new hair, hands, and clothes. Her name is Kira, after the neighbor of a fellow classmate.

My Akira Blount doll


I bought this on ebay - never thought I'd be able to afford an Akira Blount doll, but managed to buy this. It was made in 2000 and is just beautiful. check out Akira's website: http://www.akirastudios.com/

Doll gets a new hairdo


Check January 2007 post for the original hair and hat. I made new hair and turned the hat into a basket. I like her better this way.

New doll


This is the latest doll - still needs a body, but the hair worked well. I learned how to do the yarn hair from Charlie Patricolo. Here's a link to some of her work.

The June doll class


Working on doll at Campbell Folkschool

We practiced different fabric painting techniques in class. This body started out as plain muslin, then I painted it with three colors of fabric paint.

He is a Bichon-Poodle mix and has a great personality.
