Default Clothed dolls

I was asked awhile back to share pictures if I could get my carved dolls dressed. My mom is such a blessing.. she's been poking her fingers to the bone dressing my dolls. She's have a blast with it tho. I'm sooo proud of her work.

The fireplace, Dutch oven, cupboard, Dishware, spoon, fry pan are all hand carved also.

Lets hope they will all load in. Enjoy.

Thank you!

I'm having alot of fun carving them up. And when they are completely dressed its hard to let them go.

Arnie, no they are just props I used for picture taking. I might sell them eventually or use them in my own dollhouse.

Again thank you all.

Joy, they are five pieces. The legs and arms are elastic jointed. I'm in the process of learning how to carve joints for the dolls. It may take me awhile to figure that one out.

Callyanne, oh me too!! I didnt have many dolls when I was younger, so its been fun to create, name and 'talk' to these dolls. Once the face is in.. we have an ongoing conversation. I'm probably this close ( ) to getting locked up for talking to a chunka wood. *grin*
