This does not have anything to do with hand made dolls- But for those who are interested, you should check out American Girl dolls. They are pricy, but very well made, and you can get them in any color/feature combination. You pick features, skin shade, eye color, hair, etc. We just bought a baby doll for our granddaughter who will turn 5 this year. But my daughter still has her American Girl doll from 15 years ago.

Make the Camel with Wrinkled Knees. I collect all things Raggedy and he is precious. Also, you have to buy the licensed patterns, they are very strict.

I have granddaughters of several different colors. They are pretty much color blind. They have white dolls, brown dolls and black dolls. Their favorite depends on the day but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what color they are.

Check out the MAPLEA Dolls... they are from Canada but one (Alexi) has an East Indian Background. They are beautiful dolls that embrace the cultural or regional heritages. Check them out at http://www.maplelea.com/meet_girls_home.php

Just to Clarify this is for a little girl who was just born on the 1st. :)

So she is only 3 days old. Just looking at getting something soft and cuddly. ;)

But the other dolls are great ideas for when she gets older.

Can you draw or know someone who can? All you need to do is draw a pretty raggedy ann face like your link shows and make the rest of the body from a regular raggedy ann pattern. It's easy! I think I have some old raggedy ann (and I mean old!) patterns. The face can be painted on with fabric paints or embroidered on.
