Well Folks here are some of the things I have been working on lately....I am going to break my new dolls up into two posts . First there is "FALINA" She is a Mother's Day cat doll . She is wearing an old fashioned print on her skirt and an antiqued lace collar with button. She is holding her sweet newborn kitten, who is swaddled in grungy cheese cloth and fastened with a rusty pin. Falina and her kitten are made from a rough wooly fabric and then stained and cinnamon baked. Falina is about 22.5" tall and can sit when proped or be hung. SOLDNext there come "Piddlywigs (bear) and Wadsley(eagle)" These two will be auctioned together...because they look so cute together.
Piddlywigs is my West Virginia Black Bear , He doesn't just love W.V. though he loves the whole country! He is wearing his flag for everyone to see , it is roughly stitched around the edges and has a rusty bell on a pin at each end, The stars are white buttons. Piddlywigs' eyes are also buttons and his nose is pinched . His tie is made from a singed oil lamp wick. He is about 12" tall.
Wadsley is a very patriotic eagle. He carries his long, skinny flag whereever he goes. He is pearched atop his stick and comes with a wooden base. Wadsley is one sided , so he only faces to the left. He is about 15" tall.
The last thing I have to post in this section is a set of two ticking stars, one is red and says " Freedom" on a piece of osnaburg stitched to the front. Below the osnaburg there is a rusty bell fastened to the star with a rusty pin. The other star is decorated pretty much the same way except that it is made from blue ticking insted of red and the osnaburg patch says "1776". These stars are about 10.5"-11" tall. SOLD
I will be starting a new set of auctions on April 18 , 2010. Make sure to check out my post for the Ebay auction drawing for Adelina on April, 17, 2010. And my other posts...
