Back to Business







After a month of recuperation from total knee replacement, I am slowly getting my desire to work on dolls again...my strengh just needs to come back now.....I made the body of this doll from Barbara Schoenoff, Pad de Deux body .....I love that pattern, especially the face..I had the doll body, undergarments already made for the Hoffman challenge and decided to go with a different doll for that challenge. I had this gorgeous table runner I had bought at an estate sale so the gown is made from from the velvet like material of the table runner. The runner had a woven gold thread brocade trim which was beautiful as well so that became the trim for the doll.
