PART OF MY DOLL COLLECTION FROM CURRENT ALTERED DOLL ARTISTS

I am parting with part of my doll collection.  IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ANY OF MY DOLLS PLEASE leave a comment below with your email address as for some reason my own email address is not allowing new email addresses to come to my email address.  THANK YOU! My love for one-of-a-kind dolls began in the spring of 2008, when I saw a photo of one of JoAnnA Pierotti's Bella Altered Art Dolls and her online class was available.  From there, I journeyed to Cloth and Clay Doll ning with Jane DesRosier to learn her paper clay over a cloth doll body technique.  I was totally hooked on that technique.  That began my love for what doll artists were creating and selling on E-bay, Etsy, and Doll Town.
 And other doll makers were found at Spooky Time Jingles, AHAG, and other primitive doll sites.

I have told other stories on previous posts if you want to know more of my wonderful experience with the doll makers and designers online.  Without much further ado, I am going to slowly show my doll collection, and I don't like to part with any of them, but the time has come.  Thank you so very much and enjoy the dolls!                        posted by Teresa

This doll was made by Deirdra Doan of Deirdra Doan's blogspot. The doll's name is The Lady of Del Mar.  She is made out of a cloth body and has a Creative Paper Clay face and torso with embellishments of a sea shell and other lovely items.

Here is another photo of The Lady of Del Mar in her finery with a tiny star fish as an embellishment. (The other sea shells behind her and next to her are not part of her accessories.)  She is about 17 inches from head to toes.

This is Abelia from Sarah Faber of Blackeyed Suzie's blog.  She is made from paper clay and is a Victorian Gothic style doll.   Sarah is a fabulous doll maker.  The doll is about 11 inches from head to toes.  She is a real charmer.

Here is a close up of Abelia's extraordinary facial features, exquisitely painted, and also her beautiful hair coff.

Brother and Sister nursey dolls from Cheryl Foster of PattyCake Primitives with paper clay heads and vintage style clothing.  The perfect addition to any primitive doll collection.  Cheryl was just highlighted in the latest PRIMS publication from Stampington.  These dolls are about 18 inches tall.  The details on their faces are so charming.    THIS BROTHER AND SISTER DOLL SET HAS BEEN SOLD.  THANK YOU! AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!  SMILES!!!!!

Alice in Wonderland by Abi Monroe of Oklahoma.  Abi's dolls are charmers and are perfection.  Alice has her own tea cup and has a key to the door to Wonderland.  (The flower and tea spoon were optional and do not come with the doll).

Another adorable Alice in Wonderland charmer with her bunny rabbit by Michelle Sylvia of Black Berry Briar. She stands on a pedestal with her stripped stockings showing through her tulle flounce and ruffled overskirt.  She stands about 9 inches tall.

Ah, yes!  The Queen of Hearts made by Catherine Darling in her Pure Art Studio, for the American Holiday Artists Challenge.  Don't you just love the exquisite face on this doll!  Quite a treasure to have.  The doll is about 18 inches tall, and the legs are cloth, whereas the hands, torso and head are made from paper mache.  I was so honored to have been able to purchase this amazing doll.

I will be posting more dolls in the near distant future.  Please enjoy viewing these.  And, as I indicated, I am offering these for sale, please inquire at: tscat@sbcglobal.net     ENJOY!   posted by Teresa
