Dolls Stitched together with love
A couple of my cloth dolls, I enjoyed making.
See more of my dolls on the slideshow
Raggedy Ann and Andy One of the favorite doll combinations among children for many years was the Raggedy Ann and Andy set. They are soft, made mostly of cloth, and quite safe even for small children. These were originally homemade rag dolls.
Antique China Doll The glazed porcelain dolls made in 19th-century Germany had heads of Dresden china. Generally lady dolls, with pink or white cloth bodies, they were sometimes used for fashion dolls. Almost all of them had dark hair, for contrast to the fair skin, and blue eyes. China heads were also sold separately to people who wanted to make their own dolls or for pincushions. There were two-faced porcelains, with one side depicting youth and the other old age.
China Bisque Doll The china doll was the forerunner of the bisque doll. Bisque comes from the word biscuit, which refers to a piece of porcelain when it comes out of the kiln, or oven, before the glaze is applied. One day a German doll-maker was taking unglazed heads out of the kiln when he noticed that the matte finish looked more like a young woman's cheek than the glossy porcelain did |
