   AVAILABLE DOLLS:

#1--All porcelain "MAY" sculpted by Jane Zidgunas.  DAG 1993 Souvenir Mold Doll.  This is the lovely May, an all-porcelain doll, whose head and body were sculpted by Jane Zidgunas.  Doll Artisan Guild (DAG) offered molds to make this beautiful doll at their annual convention in 1993.  I do not own the mold but purchase greenware to make one doll, shown here.  She is 18" tall.

She has blue Hand Glass paperweight eyes and one of my favorite synthetic mohair wigs.  She comes with lace-trimmed cotton drawers and petticoat, along with knit socks and white shoes with ties.  She also comes with two patterns, specifically designed for her and her porcelain body.  One is a schoolgirl outfit and the other a beautiful cotton and lace dress using heirloom sewing techniques.  $115 for doll, underwear, shoes, socks and patterns (no doll stand)

#2--Ethnic all-bisque "Our Fairy".  At a UFDC convention many years ago, I saw an antique ethnic doll with a similar costume to the doll pictured above.  It was made of felt just like this one.  The doll was considered a "penwiper" and the cute felt skirt was supposed to be a place to wipe excess ink off one's pen, I guess.  I studied the antique doll carefully and used her as inspiration for the reproduction doll above.  This particular antique all-bisque doll with this eyes-to-the-side googlie eyes, and the torso, head and legs all one piece is knows as "Our Fairy".  She came in several sizes, from 11" to 5".  This reproduction doll is about 7-1/2" tall.  She is made as an ethnic doll, although the antique "Our Fairy" dolls were in white bisque as far as I know.  Only her arms are jointed.   $100 for doll as dressed

#3--Small wooden boxes with all-bisque dolls.  Shown above are 2 decorated wooden boxes that each contain a small 5" dressed all-bisque Faberge mignonette.  Each doll comes with her own hat, shown on the left hand side of the box.  $175 for each box, as shown

#4--9" Kestner 221 Googlie!  The Kestner googlie has an irresistible smile!  This ethnic doll has dark brown glass eyes and a black mohair wig in braids.  She is dressed in a white and light aqua striped dress, trimmed with aqua silk ribbon and lace.  She has leather shoes, socks and white cotton lace-trimmed drawers.  $140 undressed, $175 doll as dressed

#5--8" ethnic Kestner 221 Googlie.  This doll has an all-bisque body.  Her lovely dark brown complexion is enhanced with deep brown glass eyes and a black Daisy-style wig.   She is wearing a cotton lace-trimmed onesie as well as a beautiful pale pink crocheted dress!  And look at those pink satin slippers!   $150 as dressed

#6--Elite Googlie.  Shown is a reproduction of an Elite googlie...the English Elite Googlie, also called the "Bellhop" because of his hat.  His outer garments are wool, trimmed with gold braid and tiny round buttons.  Under his clothing, he is wearing a simple cotton one-piece combination underwear.  His bisque head, with painted eyes, is on a fully jointed latex composition body.  He also wears boots.  This little English guy measures 10".  He is shown posed next to an 8" antique googlie (not for sale).     Doll stand included.  $135 

#7--Shown is a doll made by me from the Rose Pinkul mold for one of her Itty Bitty Sweet Things.  This all-bisque multi-jointed doll is about 8".  She has painted eyes and a mohair wig.  She is dressed in a shepherdess-type dress.  Now all she needs are the sheep!  $140 dressed

SOLD--16" Hertel Schwab Googlie.  I could not resist dressing one of these cute Hertel Schwab googlies in the Brittany Boy costume that you can find on my patterns-for-sale page.  Even though he's German, this French regional costume suits him so well.  The black wool felt jacket, red wool felt vest and red wool felt gaiters are embroidered in traditional Brittany decoration.  His pantaloons, blouse and romper are white cotton.  His cumberbund is yellow silk.  Shoes and black silk socks, as well as his black velvet hat is included.  The doll has a dome head, closed mouth, blue glass eyes that are fixed, and a five piece latex composition body.
