Sally



Sally is wearing a dress made from antique indigo fabrics that were cut from old quilt blocks.  The cheddar trim is also antique and cut from an old quilt.  Sally is 11 inches tall.

Sally has a wire armature skeleton, so she can be posed.

Sally rides her rocking horse side saddle, like a proper young lady.

Permelia




Permelia is wearing antique baby boots and an antique children's bonnet.  My mother made the smocked dress for my daughter many years ago.




Permelia has a plastic, flexible armature inside of her.  It helps her to pose.


Permelia has a cloth-pressed face and is painted with acrylics.  She is heavily crackled.


I found the little bonnet in my great grandmother's sugar chest.  It must have been worn by a beloved child.

Permelia needed a rest after all of the play time.

Rotkappchen's play time

Four and a half inch Rotkappchen rides her chicken.  She has a wire armature sewn into her, to help her pose.

Rottkappchen takes a rest.

Rottkappchen climbs a tree.

Rotkappchen hears a noise, but she isn't afraid.   She decides to make a little visit.

Rottkappchen puts on her cape and goes to grandma's house.

Rottkapchen's dress is made from a 19th century quilt block of madder browns.
