Ya'll said you would like to see more of my dolls so here they are. The birdcge doll was made for a challenge at a retreat. The topic was movies. She is bye bye birdie. Inside the cage is nothing but feathers from the escaped bird. The primitave doll was made for a challenge for an online club. The mermaid was made for a donation for the local symphony for a silent auction. She sold for $350. I never try to sell my dolls cause you never get out of them what went into them. So I prefer to gift them when they tell me it is ok.

sorry I cut off the head of the prim. Will repost her.

Just beautiful work. You can see all the love, time and talent that went into each one. Thanks for sharing!

WOW! I'm always in awe of people that make these kinds of dolls. What talent you have. Thanks for showing us :thumbup:

Your dolls are Gorgeous :D:D:D

thuse are beautiful you are very good at it

Your dolls are amazing!!!! I would love to be able to make something like that! My two girls would be in heaven!!!

I love that mermaid...such attitude

Your pictures show that you love what your do. Thanks for sharing these amazing dolls.

great dolls

WOW...those are really super....you have quite a talent.

Oh I so love your dolls. What beautiful mermaid!! do you sell them?

Great work, and beautiful dolls.

OMG, they are amazing.

I don't sell them because when I tell people the price I want for them they have all kind of remarks like "for a cloth doll?" or something else to deminish the worth. I put a lot of time and thought into them and I want them to be appreciated just like we feel about our quilts. I sometimes give them to people who express a real liking for them but don't ask if they have a price or to a friend who is having a bad day.

Forgot to thank you for loving them. Thanks!!!

Your ladies are lovely and priceless.

Those are absolutely adorable. I have always been so fascinated with how they are made. Lots and lots of time :). Your mermaid one is so pretty! You have a wonderful talent! Hope you keep making them.

Beautiful dolls, I don't know if I would want to part with them.

Your dolls are amazing!!!!! :thumbup:

They are very beautiful. I am not surprised that you got that much for it. I can see that there are lots of little "extras", too.

Here is the prim I cut the head off of.

Your work is amazing!

Your great sense of humor sure shows in all of your marvelous creations. They are amazing.

Very unique dolls, very pretty. Love the birdcage doll.

Love your mermaid you are so clever and creative .Do you teach doll making?

Very artistic and precise work. Beautiful dolls. I embrace your theory about not selling.

So cool!

Fantastic! I have a collection of porcelain dolls.

You are very talented! The dolls are wonderful.

I love your dolls! You really DO put alot of work and LOVE into each one of them! My mother would absolutely love the bird cage doll because she has an amazing love for birds and it's uncanny how the doll looks like my mother:) Her birthday is Friday Feb. 4th, and I wish I could find her something like this! Thank you for sharing!

My mother would have loved the birdcage doll, as she loved birds and dolls! "She's only a bird in a gilded cage?"

Have a SUPER day!

Thank you for sharing your amazing work (or really your labor of love)!

These are so great!! I love them!! And anyone that knows what goes into making any doll would be more than willing to pay for them. I used to make dolls, not as good as yours, and I know what you mean about people not understanding. Keep up the good work!!!!!

Just beautiful!!! Wish one of them would tell you to gift me! Thank you for sharing.

How thoughtful of you to make a giftee of your wonderful dolls. I love dolls but as true of so many, can't afford them for myself, so divert myself into making special rag dolls 12 inch, 21 inch and 24 inch (the 24 inch ones are the boy dolls) for kids with cancer or faced with serious health or emotional issues, causing problems that call for a doll that can comfort them. Good for you and God bless. Some people who don't craft can't imagine the time and effort that goes into things.

The dolls are just totally awesome. Especially the birdcage, but then living near the coast the mermaid was pretty special too. All are great. I'm 70 and will never quit loving dolls. Perhaps I shall never grow up, but that's okay by me. giggling.

Keep up the good work.
