Here is one of my dolls, I made her a few years ago. I've just finished another similar to this which was commissioned by Australian Country Threads Magazine

Hi Stitching Cow,
Thank-you so much for sharing the photo of your doll. She is lovely! I just love the fabric for her dress and collar. Did you make her little bag as well? It looks, in the photo, like you used lace for her hair, is that correct? If so, what a nice idea, it gives a nice effect and adds to the overall effect of the doll.

Hello, I am working on a "Guppy" sculpt which I bought from Apple Valley and which I ordered in a biracial skin tone. I am using the cloth body for a 28" doll so it looks as though she will be - with the limbs she has - approximately 24".
The eyebrows are the most difficult part. For the hair I will be using the beautiful "Vanessa" wig from Monique.

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the Doll Making Forum! When your doll is finished we'd love to see a photo.

Thank you Helen. I have one of my last doll, but gotta figure out how to post it ...it's on my hard drive so doesn't have a url. Do you post pics here from a host like Photobucket ?

Hi Chris,
Yes, Photobucket will work. The photo has to live on the internet, somewhere, to be able to post it here.

Hi, I have one doll right now, she is a Victorian Rose Collection Doll and from my research they are cheap porcelain dolls. I was inspired by Michele Hamilton's Sewing Victorian Doll Clothes. I found her at our local Salvation Army for $5.
Her original dress was hunter green satin with some cheap lace layered on top. I unstitched her dress to draft a pattern from it.

I like the embroidery on her collar. Did you do that yourself?

Hi All, I am fascinated by reborn dolls, particularly the most realistic looking ones. Are any of you working on one? I just wrote an article about beginning my work in this area. You can read it here: Starting to Reborn Dolls . I'm interested to hear what paints and supplies you are using. Please share with us what has worked for you and what has not.
