I made this doll last year. Here is the former state of the doll: http://mcnallyschool.blogspot.com/2010/03/robert-louis-and-dudley.html. This was Dudley, the blond Civil War soldier.
Your crackle finish turned out beautifully...pretty doll. I do miss Dudley,though. Who will wear he nice little uniform? Looking back for Dudley, I revisited some of your earlier posts...what fun your kids are. I enjoyed again reading about your visit with Edyth...you should write more!
Thanks, guys! Dudley was yearning for a different life - that's why he had that sad look on his face. Christopher says that the new doll should be Rose Greenhow, a Civil War spy.
She is lovely. :o)
ReplyDeleteI like the new doll, but I must confess I liked the old one too. :~) You did an amazing job with the finish on this one!
