You are welcome, Arlee! It really was the members' choice as it came up as the most popular photo and I just happen to love it, too. I really, really like all the experimentation that you are doing with textures and colors! Wonderful!

hugs for skin thickening :) actually the main reason i was up in the middle of he night was feeling sore after a few incidents at work this week. i hope the hurts ebb away soon

Adobe Photo Shop. I just didn't see a title box or place. Anyway, it's difficult to know what my pieces are created from without some sort of title or description.
I wonder if I can fix it in anyway.
funny how I didn't have any problems last time I uploaded photo's.
Go figure.

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll
This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
 Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
