New Dolls!
















Here's what's new at Unique Designs.

Christmas Doll











This OOAK doll was made as a raffle for our Holiday fair. She is a stump doll made from a candlestick holder. Face is sculpted from paperclay and her arms are wire with cloth overwrapping. Her green velvet dress was made from a velvet dress I found at a thrift store. The beading in the back was already on the dress and was used by piecing it. Her face is handpainted using acrylic and watercolor paints.

Ruthie Dolls
















Here are my new little Ruthie sock dolls. They are made from socks, and I got the idea from a 93 year old woman who lived at the nursing home where I worked years ago. She made these dolls by hand for our fundraising fairs.


I hope I did her justice. I named them Ruthie Dolls after her.
