Old-Fashioned School Desk for A Doll
A good neighbor built this small school desk for my dolls long ago in his woodworking shop. Even though Mr. George passed away more than fifteen years ago, his gift still reminds me of his kind-hearted nature.

One of my many painted canvas dolls sits quietly waiting for class to begin.

A rag doll for my daughter’s birthday
I made this rag doll back in the early 1990s for my oldest daughter’s second or third birthday. My interests in making dolls have always been somewhat focused on the “plaything” aspect of dolls. I have yet to make many dolls that are not intended to be played with by little people. This doll had double stitched seams and she was painted with non-toxic materials. Her face is influenced by those features frequently found on 1930′s rag babies.
