My first introduction to making dolls was from my mom and my Aunt Lavon, when we lived in Twin Falls, Idaho.. They would get together for a day of crafting!!! They spent a lot of afternoons making flowers out of feathers and the dolls that were Dip and Drape over a bottle and a large styrofoam ball for the head. The hair was done in large ringlets made using the long fake fur.. My Dear Aunt LaVon gave me one of my moms dolls that she had done about 30 yers ago... this is one of my greatest treasures that I have... my Aunt LaVon passed away 6 months after she gave it to me and my mom has been gone to be with our lord, 24 years ago... |
