Doll-A-Day 2017 # 199: Ivy's Collection: Lady in a Shawl

  Today's doll is another from Ivy's collection. She's this pretty lady.

She's another doll of Ivy's that I really love.

She stands only 6" tall.

I'm not sure what nationality she's supposed to represent,but she's obviously one of those 'travel dolls'.

She has no articulation,so she can't even sit.

She has cottony stocking type arms and legs.

She has a petticoat under her dress.

The shoes are separate from her legs and are made of a leathery fabric.

Her face is almost a silky fabric.

I like her dress fabric. It has a woven design and the fabric is fairly heavy.

What appears to be all fringy shawl is actually part fringy shawl, and part fringy thing attached to her scarf.

 

 

There's a loop on the back to hang her by. I have no idea why she would need to be hangable.

She reminds me of this doll of my own.



You can see her 'Day' HERE.They're the same fabric arms and legs, same leathery shoe fabric,same size,and they both have hand painted faces.
Ivy claims to have bought this doll at a doll show for $10. I think she's wrong. For one thing, younger Ivy would never have spent $10! But you know how it is arguing with a teenager!

There's another doll tomorrow. Be here then.

Doll-A-Day 23: Pressed Cloth Face Boy

  Today's doll is this cute little boy.

 He's a 'Travel Doll', which were dolls made to depict different nationalities, and were often sold as souvenirs.I'm not sure what nationality he is supposed to be. Italian maybe?He stands just 8 1/2" tall to the top of his hat. He has a pressed cloth face,with felt hair and ears.

His hat is felt, as are his collar, vest,belt/sash,boots, and the flowers he holds in his hand. (The flowers on his hat are a mixture of other fabrics.)

He has a cute, hand painted face which looks a little wary.

His boots have little tassels on them!

His hands are pressed cloth as well. Probably cotton.

My favourite part is his felt hair! I love the shape of it!

I was lucky enough to get this little guy in the $5 box that contained the beautiful cloth lady doll I showed you last  Friday on Day 17.
 This post is a little late, due to our internet being out for a while this evening, and other unforeseen circumstances! I have posted a photo story today too, so please have a look, and I'll see you tomorrow with another doll.
