Much like my previous post on "Undermade Dolls" this project was so enjoyable. The little doll was found in a second hand store and came without clothes and feet. In the picture below you can see how she looked right after I purchased her with the price tag still on her belly. Great care was taken to clean her up by washing and conditioning her hair. The factory face paint was carefully taken off also and a new face painted on and sealed. Her feet/shoes were hand colored and molded and clothes were sewn especially for her. A portion of the factory hair was pink and because of the location it was strategically trimmed to remove most of it. Once braided, the pink is barely noticeable. Several inches were also taken off as the ends were damaged and prone to tangling.
Here she is all ready to go in her bedtime story PJs. Can you say Hey Diddle Diddle?

The change is unbelievable when you look at them side by side. I am working toward finding a very special home that she will go to be played with and cherished. One less used toy in a landfill. I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you have learned and are generous with what you make. Someone will appreciate your hard work!
