The Izannah Walker doll "wanna be" Cleta, is done.

She took a lot of hours to finish. She was a challenge and demanding.

Because this doll took so long to make I feel she may be my last doll for a while. I feel this doll was a culmination of my doll making. I used all the skills I have acquired in my years as a doll maker. Mask making, doll and clothes design. Oil painting.

There may be a few embroidered face dolls. Easily done with not much thought.

I am moving on to doing some acrylic paintings and oil paintings on canvas. 

Doll named Toby

This is Toby.

 

Poor boy has waited for many years to be finished. He sat in the bobby sock cover for all that time---- so I made his shirt from the cover. This shows the process and finish painting
