MAIZIE

Just finished this little gal, who has gone to her new home in California!  I can't believe it is almost April already.  We are in a huge mess here; we've remodeled two bathrooms and are painting two bedrooms all at once!  I just wanted to get it over with at one time.  The bad part is, it hasn't left much time for doll making!  My husband and I are very hands-on with the house; we do as much as we can ourselves.  Doug refinishes floors, paints, does beautiful woodworking, etc.  plus tons of other stuff.  I paint, wallpaper, sew my own draperies, and whatever else I can get into.  

  Maizie is about 14" tall, and is sculpted of paper clay, then oil-painted.  Her hair is human.  Her boots are sculpted and painted to look like leather.  I love the way her little "topsy-turvy" doll turned out!  I'm still working on two special orders I took 8 months ago!  There just isn't enough time in the day to do it all.
Hope you are all enjoying a beautiful spring--it was 85 degrees here today in the Florida panhandle!
