Best Friend dolls

This little French Bulldog is best friends with a little girl doll.  In the early part of the 20th Century these dolls were known as ‘Topsy Turvy’ dolls and carried with them many stories - both good and bad.   I designed mine to be best friends to each other and the child with whom they found a home.  She’s crafted from 100% linen stuffed with virgin nonallergenic toy stuffing.  Her face is cast in Creative Paperclay from my original sculpture, then covered with 100% cotton stockinette before being coated and hand painted to bring her personality to life.  Her ears and the scruff of her neck are fashioned from felted vintage 100% wool.  Come back later this week to meet her best friend and see their fashionable outfits.
