My last commission for 2014 was to complete three dolls for a co-worker ~ two for his daughters and one for his significant other. I was not sure which was for whom, so I decided to create them all similar but in the colors that he chose. Children can be very funny about always wanting the one that was not chosen for them, so in keeping the peace I kept them simple so that the daughters could be free to change the clothing as they desired.

These were the first ones from 2014. I created one similar to the one on the right for a raffle for my doll club and received two commissions from that. I delivered the following two at the January 2014 meeting.

Thanks Debbie! I really appreciate your sweet compliments. :-) I met his daughters once and they look to be around 9 and 11. He gave them to them for Christmas gifts. He seemed very pleased with them.
DeleteWhoa, I didn't know you make OOAKS! These are awesome! I especially like that the last doll's photo. She is rocking some big School Daze hair.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Muff! Yes, I love recreating the dolls. I love big hair dolls, so they are always fun to create.
DeleteWOW! Very pretty. Do you root the lashes and repaint the face and make the clothing? I hope that they appreciate all the work.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Thanks so much Ms. Leo! Yes, I root the eyelashes, put on the beauty mark, repaint the lips only and make the clothes. I would love to learn to do repaints one day. I believe that they enjoy and appreciate them. I plan to do more of it when I retire in a fews years.
