Works in Progress – What is Happening in My Studio Today – SOLD

March 2, 2011March 30, 2011 paulawalton

I thought you might all like to see what I’m working on this week. I’m just finishing up a wonderful custom order Izannah. I only have a few more details to complete and then she will be ready to travel to her new home.

Yesterday she graciously agreed to pose for my April ad in Antique Doll Collector magazine. So she’s been a very busy young lady. Today she has her final dress fitting and is acquiring laces for her boots. Tomorrow she will be packing for her trip. I hope all of the attention doesn’t go to her head!

I made this doll to order as a special commission from her owner. I would be happy to do the same for you. Please call me at 860-355-5709 or email me at paula@asweetremembrance.com to discuss custom made dolls.

Paula, your commissioned Izannah is just wonderful! She has a very soft expression. You could look at her all day. 😉 Penni

  Thank you Penni! I am really pleased with the way she turned out. She looks so serious that it makes me smile 🙂 Her new “Mom” supplied most of the fabrics for her clothing and I think they look great. The dress is made from a rather stiff taffeta, which was a bit of a challenge. 🙂
