Lady D

This doll was inspired by the Poldark series on PBS.? I love this gown style. a lovely red with gold floral accent 18th century silk, shoes to match. I hand crocheted the trim using antique gold thread. I also used antique micro beads for buttons down her bodice also lined with the crochet trim. the under skirt has rosette rushing as well as a border of rushed trim, also a smaller but same type of rushing down the sides of the gown.? my dolls are authentically made as the originals enameled eyes not glass . mortise and tenon joinery legs bending at the hips and knees, like the originals. I carve the face features and the hands and the dolls are painted with a gesso as the originals. this particular doll has a mohair wig, the perfect shade of red. I love this doll? a 2 dimensional image cannot do her justice. As with all of my dolls she has an internal identification stating she is one of my exclusive one of a kind creations signed and dated .
