Recently, I found a few more old dolls to redo. They were not exactly the best, so I completely repainted their faces.
They all got new hair too. And clothes pieced together from vintage bits and pieces.
One became a St Paddy’s Gal. She wears a vintage shamrock dress and her crown holds a green top hat snapped off of an antique stir stick. Her hair is a pale green.
And her bodice is a vintage, tatted butterfly.
One of her arms was upside down. I thought about cutting it off and trying to reattach it, but decided to camouflage it with a big bouquet instead.
Making these dolls is an indulgence for me, they really are not something most people have in mind when shopping at Good Juju. If I were smart, I’d be working on something that fits in at the venue better. Or stockpiling these for Christmas, when people are excited about frilly angels.
I am trying to adjust my likes to what my customers like. But I sure do loooove fairies!
