December 16, 2014December 16, 2014 paulawaltonLeave a comment

Zanna and Izzybelle are busy preparing for Christmas. After they finish decorating here they would love to come decorate your house!

I have two very special dolls available for sale now, just in time for Christmas. Zanna and Izzybelle would love to bring the look and feel of an antique New England Christmas to your house. Both of the girls have very “old” paint finishes that are perfect for anyone who loves early primitive antiques ❤

Zanna has a wonderful paint surface that makes her look as if she has been treasured and loved for 175 years.

You just know that little Izzybelle must have had a life filled with the most amazing adventures... — You just know that little Izzybelle must have had a life filled with the most amazing adventures…

Izzybelle SOLD Thank you for looking. Izzybelle and I wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Izzybelle is 14 inches tall and has a body covering of antique blue glazed cotton. She has underclothing and a flutter sleeve dress made from antique fabric. You can scroll down the page to see many more photos of Izzybelle in my blog posts from the UFDC convention and Izannah’s 197th birthday party.

Zanna thinks that Miss Liberty would be the perfect ornament for the doll's Christmas tree! — Zanna thinks that Miss Liberty would be the perfect ornament for the doll’s Christmas tree!

Zanna has decided to hang Miss Liberty, a red, white and blue spun cotton ornament on the top of the Christmas tree. I haven’t had time to make too many spun cotton ornaments this year. I’ve just shipped out the last of the pre-ordered ornaments and have one Miss Liberty left for sale in time for Christmas. Just like Izzybelle, she isn’t posted for sale on my website yet. Miss Liberty is $65.00 with free U.S. shipping. Email or call if you would like to add her to your ornament collection. paula@asweetremembrance.com 860-355-5709

Printed Face Rag Doll

This is a prototype doll that I made for students in my Izannah Walker doll making class. I made alternate heads that worked with the class patterns.

This 18 inch doll has a printed cloth face and is my version of a Sunbonnet Sue. She has a soft aged muslin body that is filled with cotton stuffing. Her dress is made from an antique blue paisley fabric and has a vintage navy velvet ribbon sash. Her bonnet is made from an antique hand crochet doiley. She is $89.00 and includes free shipping to U.S.addresses.

I also sell just the printed face for $8.00, if you’d like to use one to make a doll of your own. Click here

* The quilt behind the girls is an amazing antique silk tumbling blocks quilt. If you are intrigued with the red, white and blue wool ball Izzybelle is lounging against, I do have a few in stock on my website. Whimsical Victorian Puzzle Balls 17-inch circumference – $45.00, 20-inch circumference – $55.00.

Lay-away is available on every item I sell. Please call or email me with any questions you may have about my dolls and ornaments, to purchase an item, or to set up a lay-away plan. paula@asweetremembrance.com 860-355-5709.

Work in Progress… Almost Finished

February 20, 2014February 20, 2014 paulawalton6 Comments

*** a late night addition to this post. It’s 11:00 p.m. and I’m quitting for today. One doll is finished and the other one is waiting for her arms to dry. Last photo of the night, with more to follow in the daylight!

Here is a quick glimpse of two dolls that I have been working on for the past month. I’m so pleased with the way they are turning out that I just had to share a few photos with you before I go out to my studio for the day. Both of them are made from a mold of the Izannah Walker doll I bought in November.

The original Izannah is on the right. She was recently repainted by a previous owner - so this is not her original paint. My reproduction is on the left. — The original Izannah is on the right.

Charlotte’s Doll Part Two and Coming Attractions

May 19, 2012May 19, 2012 paulawalton2 Comments

Charlotte’s doll has put on her socks and shoes, packed her bags, and is ready to travel. Because she’ll have a lengthy journey, with a stop in customs, I’ve made a short video for Charlotte to watch while she waits.

If you love Izannahs too, grab a cup of tea and enjoy the show! Be sure to watch for the “coming attractions” feature at the end to see the two other dolls that I’m working on, one of them inspired by a doll that recently sold a the Sandwich Auction House on April 21, 2012 & the doll shown at Steamboat Arabia: A Historian’s Blog, and for more information on my 2012 Izannah Walker Doll Making Retreat.
