SOLD – For use with my Izannah Walker Doll Making Kits. The painted heads are an option that is available with the kits, if you don’t feel confident enough to paint the head yourself. Patterns and instructions are included in the kit, along with the composition head. If you have already purchased one of my kits or are a member of my Izannah Walker doll making class, you may purchase the head separately to use with the patterns and instructions that you already own….
HEAD #1 SOLD
SOLD This little girl was a very happy accident. When her head came out of the mold her face tilted forward. At first I was horrified because she had almost no neck!!! After I got over the shock, I noticed how sweet and baby like this made her face look. ❤
I am excessively fond of the way this head turned out! I debated long and hard about whether or not I should paint her and if I did, if I should offer her for sale, since technically she is not a perfect reproduction of the original Izannah Walker doll I made her mold from. I’m extremely glad that I decided that a little variety is sometimes a very good thing.
To enhance the baby like look of her face, I chose a rather uncommon Izannah hair style for her. The Carmel Doll Shop once had a magnificent antique Izannah Walker doll with hair painted similarly. If you frequent their website, you may remember her. She was dressed in an amazing off white dress with a great deal of white braid work trim and she wore a necklace of white beads. This hair style has very short wispy center parted bangs, with little fringes of hair at the temples brushed towards the face and six ringlets at the back of the head. Six is a very unusual number of long curls for an Izannah Walker doll, it is much more common to see five or seven. The large Izannah that I reproduce has nine.

Notice the difference between the two in the back, compared o the younger more baby like features of head #1, in the foreground.Another photograph showing the difference between the two in the back, compared to the younger more baby like features of head #1, in the foreground.
I currently have this head available for sale on eBay. She is painted like Isane, my antique Izannah Walker doll that I made the mold from for this head. SOLD
