My dolls are fashioned after dolls of bygone days. Their arms are fastened with buttons and their legs have bead joints at the knees so that their legs bend when they are seated. The bodies are stuffed cotton material that has been painted and then sanded to give it a leathery feel. The faces are made of clay and the headpieces are made from material that has been treated with emulsified paper mache to make it stiff. Thanks to Deanna Hogan whose body pattern I modified so that it could be used with entirely clay hands and clay heads.
The above doll is named Temperance, though her dad calls her Bunny because she never follows a straight path anywhere. Temperance: 390 Hare: 120

This is Betsy. She was named after Betsy Ross. She sits with a donkey and an elephant which represent the two major political parties in the U.S.A. Her clothes also have a patriotic theme. Her skirt has stars on it and the colors of the flag are seen in her clothes.
