Miss Polly

This is more about taking pictures of the doll, than the doll itself  Any critiques or advice would be welcome as I'm about to take the plunge and put her on Etsy.

Pensive Polly

Polly is a cloth doll, with a cloth head covered and sculpted in paperclay, painted with acrylics and sealed. She has Tibetan  lambswool hair, dyed in kool aid. (generic, but it's just as bright as the real deal). Her body and limbs are sewn from hand-dyed  (with tea, actually ) cotton, She wears green dupion silk knickers, a cotton lawn waist slip and a dress of ivory dupion silk and embroidered tulle lace over green tulle (Thanks, Cindy!), with a green satin ribbon sash. Oh, and little black glove leather dancing shoes.

Too much detail? Here's a picture!

Polly Rules!

She's about so big and she has bent knees, for sitting. and wired hands, for holding things ( a hat,  flowers, rabbits, ten dollar bills, whatever).

Posing is hard work!

She was fun to make, which, I guess, is the most important thing. She's nice to play with, too,
