6 1/2" doll

What is it about Raggedy Ann that intrigues little girls?  Johnny Gruelle's whimsical illustrations hooked me at a young age.  I decided to make a mini version.  Wool-stuffed cloth body is painted with gesso and custom-blended paints.  Note the unstuffed upper parts of the limbs.  I wanted this gal to have more mobility than I normally give my cloth Hitty dolls.


Ahh, that's better----clothing makes a doll feel ready to face the world and her new dolly-mommy!
