Where Custom Porcelain Dolls are My Specialty
 
 

 

This is quite a line up! I mentioned in my opening that I teach doll classes. A couple of years ago, several of my students decided to do a class project of an antique reproduction doll named Hilda. I taught them to paint the head copying the old dolls, then we attached the composition bodies and made the mohair wigs. The finally was a class in sewing an heirloom christening gown. The photo below is a line up of Hilda's in my greenware and mold room - they are waiting for their hair. In the photo above, two of the girls have their own hand made mohair wigs. This was all part of the class project.
