Michael J

This is Michael created at the top of his career. He is entirely my creation including his leather suit and shoes. His fingers are wired to hold his mic. He is about 8" tall.

Wooden Head Boy

Just the head of this young fellow is carved by me. I made the rest of his body the way I did most of my dolls at that time. He's about 7  1/2" tall.

Basket Maker

As I was once a basket maker I thought it appropreate to design a doll doing that. I used the head mold created from Convention Connie to make her head.
Here is Convention Connie. I was going to doll conventions at this period of my life and this was a typical attendee ...carrying a purse, camera and tote bag (the tote bag has been misplaced I fear). She is about 9" tall.

More of my Dolls

Back to listing my dolls.........This is Norman's buddy Earnest. He is my design through and through. He's about 9" tall.

A couple.

I had Norman Rockwell in mind when I made this fellow. And the lady was created using the mold I had made of my Peddler Doll head.
Their heads were sculpted from clay abd then a mold was made and filled with Durhan Water Putty. Their bodies wire covered with felt including their fingers. Clothes designed and made by me.

Peddler Doll

I entered this one at my first doll show and she won a blue ribbon....oh my was I excited. She and her costume was designed and made by me as were all the baskets and purses she sells.
