A new Sliver Sister is emerging............

She loves the 17" of snow that we just had dumped on us!
The snow fall means that I was shut in and finally dressed her.  Poor thing has been naked since May.
She is 9" tall, hand carved from basswood and jointed.  Her gown is hand stitched by me and made of 18th century silk.
I just thought I would share her with you.  She is enough to make anyone smile on this wintry day!!  SOLD
There are 2 dolls available at this time.  One 15" Izannah Walker and One 25" (Mary) Queen Anne Wooden doll.  I have some other dolls in the works as well.  If you would like more info or more photos just email me: toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

19" Izannah Walker reproduction doll....... SOLD

Here she is!  This is the only Izannah Walker doll that I have available right now that is finished.  She is 19" tall and has 3 pieces of underclothes, her dress, and an apron all made of antique fabrics.
She has a very sweet face and lots of wisps and curls in her painted hair.
Because she is molded off of one of my old Izannah Walker dolls she has all the wear to her face just like on my old one, including the wear on her nose and forehead and shows a bit of the under stuffing showing through as well.
She is so much nicer in person.  My flash washed her face and detail out a bit in these photos.  If you would like to see some better photos just let me know.
If you have questions or would like more photos, just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
SOLD
This doll opted to have a different dress so the dress and apron she is wearing is available to purchase or to have on a doll if you wish to order one to be made.

And then there were two.............Izannah Walker dolls

Yes, it is true.  I have purchased a second antique Izannah Walker doll and made a mold off of the original head so that I can reproduce yet another Izannah for more people to enjoy.  This one has a very sweet face and a slightly turned head.  Any wear that you see on the face was also on the original doll that I bought reproduced.
She is larger than the first one and measures 21" tall.  Her smaller sister was 19" tall.
This one also comes with 3 pieces of underclothes and a dress all made from antique fabrics.
If you would like more photos or information about my Izannah Walker dolls, just email me toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
There are 2 Izannahs available at this time.  One 19" and one of the new 21" ones.
This Izannah in the mustard dress is SOLD
