Civil War era China head doll
repaired and rebodied
poor dear is all broken up and glued years ago
in her old body she was 19" long
superglue the pieces to secure them for more
agressive reinforcement
air dry sculpey was used to fill in missing pieces
epoxy glue to strengthen the underside
with patches and 4 layers of epoxy glue
new body with tea stained arms
she is now 25"
ready and waiting for new clothes
working on a pinner apron pattern.
Doll completed
new body and clothes.
fabrics used were Civil War era replicas.
she is holding a sweet vintage doll hat.
Ive named her Fran.
the value of my doll is greatly reduced due to her damage.
but it fun to see her sister on Ruby Lane
