I first found Paula' McGee's,dolls on Elfwood, the original fantasy art website.
I would type in 'cloth dolls' and up would come Paula's creations,
I loved their expressively drawn faces, their gorgeous clothes and their wonderful feet.

| Look at those sweet little feet! |
As I moved around the internet over the years I'd find her dolls popping up, here and there.
On Deviant Art.
on Facebook
on Etsy
 |
| I adore her sweet little mousy face |
and in Blogland
 |
| Look at that corset! Gorgeous! |
I've loved her dolls for a long time and I'm always happy when I find them popping up in a new part of the web. Looking at Paula's dolls I've been encouraged and I've learned a lot. Without her, I'd never have learned about Pigma Micron pens for drawing faces. Or tried Tibetan lambswool for rag dolls.
She also does the most amazing doll cloth hands.
Will you just look at these? They're sewn, people!

| I mean, seriously fabulous hands. So please, take a trip over and see Paula's wonderful dolls. I hope they delight you as much as they delight me whenever I find them. |
Oh, my!!! Such lovely beings she's created!
ReplyDeleteLook at those fingers! And her ability to make feet look sweet is truly amazing--hands and feet seemed hardest to me back in my days of trying on soft sculpture for size. I never was very good at it, but enjoyed learning--which means I can appreciate all the more what goes into the real workings of the doll maker's art.
Delightful post!
