THE HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL SERIES - SORRY, ALL OF THESE KITS ARE NOW GONE.
NOTE: The Toy and Miniature Museum in Kansas City has a small number of many of the kits in the Historical Folk Doll Series left over. If you wish to see if the one(s) you are interested in are still available, email Sandra Russell at this email: russellsm@umkc.edu - be politely persistent about which kit you want since they seem to have some on their list twice with slightly different names.

THE FEEDSACK DOLL
This is one of the best dolls I have ever designed.
She makes up well, with ease, including stuffing, which is usually one
of the hardest parts. She is very old-fashioned in her style and accessories.
Made from a feedsack, an historical detail common to homemade cloth
dolls, she has a charming face which is accomplished easily with an
iron-on transfer and colored pencils applied to her painted cloth finish.
Complete with leather shoes, striped legs and a dress made from my own
fabric. Her hard-to-find vintage style batise and cotton lace underwear
and bonnet, are overdyed with a special new technique included in the
kit. She is 14" tall. NOTE: We are no longer able to provide the wonderful vintage feedsacking for this doll (the modern replacement is awful) and so the fabric provided is a suitable weave that acts the part with ease.

FOLK STYLE IZANNAH WALKER DOLLS IN A
12" SIZE (using knit for heads) - MINI KIT
This is a pattern to make a smaller sized
doll but otherwise similar to the 17" ones I made for the Historical Folk Doll Series. The smaller size is easier to manage
while still being large enough for good detail. Pattern makes Girl,
Boy and a Black version with Bonnet and has cotton knit and iron-on
faces needed for the head. Recommended to use wool roving in head
area only and newly available are paint sets for people buying patterns
(see my Supplies page).

A DOLL FOR DISNEY
In early 2001, I was asked to do a
doll for the Disney movie, "Tuck
Everlasting." The doll originally was to have an important role
and my mission was to make three of the same doll - the first was to
be worn, but as if in the present time of the movie (1820); the second
was to be very tattered and look as if she were 100 years old and the
last was to be used in a house fire into which Sissy Spacek, playing
the mother, runs to rescue the doll because it is so dear to her. When
the movie finally came out in fall of 2002, the doll is only a prop
on a shelf, but for me it did not really matter because I considered
the challenge so great that when I finished with more success than
I felt possible, that became my real reward. The real task for me was
not just making a rag doll of the times with the qualifications handed
to me (only brown for colors and real hair), but to create one which
clearly had the stamp of endearing on her and to take my aging techniques
into new territory such that it would be hard to really tell that the
doll was not old. Her reception at shows proved I was right, for everyone
was drawn to her even when they knew nothing of her connection to a
movie. Favorite details are her wispy hair, sweet countenance and her
worn shoes.
