I take a basic wooden clothespin-
Holes are drilled, wire threaded through, and clay is used to form the head, arms and shape of doll-
I then paint and design the doll's facial expression and begin the work on designing their costume-
The finishing touches are made on their costumes, sometimes requiring a bit of hand sewing-
Hair styles and finishing touches are added, now for the other character!-
Now the characters are complete, and ready to be displayed!- (Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan)
I hope you enjoyed the little mini tour, and seeing the process of what goes into making my creations!
Stop in again soon!

I've always wondered how you made your dolls. I enjoyed and was fascinated by the process. Thank you for sharing this!
No problem Sassy, I had fun doing it- it was just a sort of short version but basically those are the steps.:)
This is very interesting! It's fun to see how creative you are.
This was a really neat post. Very cool.

Hi!
I just happened upon your Etsy site tonight and was so glad to see you also have a blog!
Your dolls are very unique. Do you do alot of sewing or use fabric glue? I can't image sewing such teeny clothes.
Consider me a new addition to your followers!
