Terri's Doll refurbish







My friend Terri asked me to refurbish a doll that had been given to her by her uncle. The doll was from Germany, purchased in the 1950's. As you can see she needed a bit of work. I filled the cracks with paperclay, sanded and repainted the entire doll. I plucked out her sparse eyelashes and gaver her new ones. I gave her a new head of hair, made her a new dress complete with a pair of bloomers to match and finished her outfit with a cute little pair of 'leather' sandals to match her outfit. Terri hasn't seen her yet as she's away on vacation. Can't wait for her to get home and take a look!
