My First Izannah Walker Doll

Cloth and Clay Dolls are amazing. Here is my first attempt, Peggy has inspired me to give it a try... and I think I have a grandma started here. I love working with paper clay and think I could really like doing this... but let's see how the finished product ends up before the decision is made. Wish me luck! Ruth

This doll is heavy on the cranium!
but I am telling you.... I am absolutely loving the face. I think this could look like Great Grandma
Lucy beore you get done with her!
very cool! Keep going.....peggly

Painting, painting

Painting!

Many many layers on this doll

As she progresses I am thinking her name is gonna change.

Looks like she has a very fat face

I think she is going to be beautiful with high cheekbones. Linda

I love the eyelids and lips. You are inspiring me!!! Ruth

Ok guys, here is the green sweater I made to go with this outfit, but I don't like it with the velour dress and skirt after I got it made. It is too heavy or something with this light colored velour.

This was originally supposed to be the back of the sweater, but I thought, why not turn it around?....but I didn't like that any better either.

This was supposed to be the front, but I think the yarn is too dark.

I'm thinking maybe something light and lacy in off-white or the same color red as the shoes??? What do you think?

More detail

She has a braid

and

eyelids!

I had to do it.

Eyelids are a must have on this doll!

LOL

Happy Birthday!!!!

This Post is dedicated to the founder and creator of this blog, and Jeanlee dolls:
Our dear sister Peggy! It's her birthday!!!!!!
She is my "just barely older sister", that I shared a room with as a child, who has the sense of humor in our family and the biggest heart of all of us! I have always admired her for her happy character, incredible artist talent, & hard working attitude, and absolutely adore her still to this day. Her idea for creating dolls has brought our family closer together, and has allowed us to share time and creativity within our family, even though miles separate us. She is absolutely the best, and I am proud and so thankful for her and too her for her incredible goodness and big heart! Peggy, thank you for all you do for us and others! You are continually giving and sharing. We love you and hope your day is the best!
With love your little sis, Ruth

Oh my heck!
I am over here just crying and crying. How kind you are.

the blog was Our dear Sister Alyce's creation and I have to give her the entire credit for
the way it has given our family a place to connect. this is an idea every family should utilize!
thank you Alyce for doing this for me, us our family.

And you Ruth!
You are so sweet. I have always loved being you sister and always will through out all etenities!
All of a sudden 58 years old is lookin all kinds of better!
Love you,
peggly
