More Babies

At my request, Sherry sent me four "new" babies last week to dress.
I've just completed two of them.  Since these are not valuable antiques (though antiques nonetheless!) I had the freedom to paint the shoes black on the small one.
This gal is about 5" and really wide...the dress is no lie!
It's done in baby wt. acrylic.  One pearl bead at the top of the dress closes it in the back.
 

The smaller doll on the right is about 3.5"....she might have been painted (after bisque firing) before; I redid her shoes as they were an odd red.  The dress is ecru, not yellow as it seems to be showing up here. Three pearl beads act as buttons on the back.
These dolls really "come to life" for me as I'm dressing them.  It's been a pleasure making clothes for Sherry's babes!
