Too Cool!

This "My Beautiful Doll" Marissa by Hasbro

was so pretty, I didn't resist. 

 When I popped these sunglasses on her,

she reminded me of little kids I've seen...

Book of Doll Clothes

Two-Hour Dolls' Clothes

It's full of ideas, advice, encouragement,

instructions, sketches and photos!

I borrowed this book through inter library loan,

then was delighted to find it at Goodwill, where I snatched it!

Vita

Vita in the buff blonde by Horsman

I made her clothing, except the jeans and the white shoes.

Digital Doll Art?

The dolls are:

Horsman's Vita in the Buff

Mattel's Teen Trends Kianna

Tonner's Kitty Collier

Tonner's Miss America Basic

In Disguise

For the trick or treaters about two years ago,  I dressed

some of my dolls.

This one didn't need much dressing. 

I added a mask.

Cinderella, by playmates.

I found her in Salvation Army.

Mandy

I dunno, for some reason this

picture appealed to me, today.

Play dolls have appeal to me -

that is, most of them.

My Friend dolls by Fisher-Price.

Violet

She is so delicately dainty 

that I wanted to photograph

her right away

whether the light was "right" or

silhouette.

Besides, I like to mess with

pictures!

Violett is by Doug James.

Her gown is Tonner and a gift from a generous lady.

Her violin was given to me by a dear friend.

Marley Wentworth

This is Tyler Wentworth's little sister,

if I have the story straight. 

Tonner makes these dolls.

I love my grown up fashion models,

but there is just something about little girl

dolls that appeals to me.

Oh, I knit the sweater jacket and sewed the dress

 from part of a Perfect Patterns offering from Doll Reader magazine.

Old fashioned Ball Jointed Doll

What many people think of

when they hear

"doll collecting."

This darling was given to me by my cousin

(I think)

She has inconclusive marks, I guess I would say.

My friend fixed her up for me.

Isn't she sweet? 

That's a Doll?

Yes!

They are called "reborn."

These are by my friend, Linda.

She sells on Ebay as lindasbabies.

I told her I love them , though she

knows i'm not into baby dolls,

but I wouldn't want to have one.

I'd feel as though I was neglecting

a real child!

They are fun to hold, though.

Carrie's Climb, A Wordless Picture "Story"

Teen Trends Courtney

by Mattel

I was not really a tomboy.

This reminds me of my sister,

who was always up a tree.

I love the feet on these dolls!
