Doll-A-Day 2019 303: A Couple of Old Couples

  Emma had a successful party tonight. She had plenty of guests, and everyone enjoyed her party food.
 

My Strong Sad meringues were a bit flat, but they tasted good and weren't totally bad as far as likenesses go.

There were some better ones than these. That one in the middle is pretty perfect. Of course, that's why it's broken!

  I'm giving a shout out today to our friend and reader Dorothy, who has had some health problems lately. Dorothy is one of our most frequent commenters,and I hadn't heard from her in a while. I got worried about her. Luckily I had Dorothy's email address,so I sent her an email to make sure she was ok. Dorothy assured me she is on the mend and will be back commenting soon. So get well soon Dorothy! Everybody,send Dorothy your best wishes and help her along,
   Today's dolls are a couple of elderly couples from the sales tub. Here's couple number one.

They're a sweet pair. They're about 18 or 20 inches tall.They have stocking faces and hands.

I think they're faces were done so well,especially their eyes. Their eyes are very realistic,especially for being painted on cloth.
  Now the other pair of oldsters...well, that's another story!

They're a little smaller than the other pair. They are about 16 inches tall.

This pair seems older. Their clothes seem to have been made of vintage fabrics. The man has a wool felt coat,and the lady is wearing a real fur. (Ew.)

Can you see her little teeth?

But what is the deal with those faces? The old man is kind of cute, but the lady is somewhat disturbing.

Their hair is made of cotton I think.

Their 'skin' seems to be something like fabric mache,but unlike fabric mache,it feels soft on the surface.

It's obviously over some kind of form,because there is something under that nose,don't you think?

Look at his little cotton mustache.

  Those are the dolls for today. See you again tomorrow for another one.
