Early Primitive Style Prairie Doll, Paper Mache, OOAK, OFG

Description

This original, one of a kind doll was created to look like a much loved toy from long ago. Her body is made from cotton muslin and is stuffed with clean, new wool to give her the heavy feeling of an old doll. Her breastplate, head, arms and legs were hand sculpted from paper mache and painstakingly sanded, painted and stained, to give her the appearance of age.

Her costume is of my own design and consists of many layers. Her flannel pantaloons are trimmed in vintage tatting. Her floral cotton chemise is piped in black as is her mottled gold, wool felt jacket. Over her chemise, she wears a periwinkle blue petticoat, with tucking along the edges. Her dark floral over skirt is trimmed in vintage lace as are the sleeves of her jacket. Her jacket is held closed with an old and unusual brooch.

She is 22” from the top of her head to the tip of her toes, and is signed and dated on the back of her breastplate. This is an heirloom quality doll and is not suitable for small children. Any stain or wear is intentional and is meant to give this doll an early look.

Much of the work that went into this doll was done by hand. She is well constructed and made to stand the test of time. I know you will be pleased to add this beautiful primitive doll to your collection.
