Mariah, African-American Ragdoll

Mariah, the Handmade African-American Rag Doll is now available in my shop on Etsy. Please see the sidebar for the Etsy link. SOLD

Mariah was hand painted using oil paints which were allowed to cure. I then hand drew her facial features and painted them in acrylics. Her clothing is upcycled and includes a hand formed bead on her scarf. She is about 30 inches tall. She has big brown light eyes and medium brown soft hair put up in ponytails. Her ribbons match her scarf. The doll she’s holding is not included.

All though Mariah is well put together I don’t consider her a toy. She’s more of a shelf sitter or welcome doll for a novelty shop or for the home of a fine art doll collector.

Hand washable. Continue reading ‘Mariah, African-American Ragdoll’

Recycle Plastic Bag Holder Doll

Published on February 19, 2010 in African-American Rag Doll, Angels, Art by black women, Crafts, Originals and Rag Doll. 2 Comments

I wanted something cuter than a regular plastic bag holder  so I added an African-American rag doll with angel wings to a bag I already had.  The doll itself is hand stitched and hand painted. I painted her skin with burnt umber oil paints then allowed it to dry. She was heat treated then sealed. I then added facial features and hair from a doll purchased forever ago. I have to say I like the finished product. I think what I like about her is she has a slight primitive appeal.  I really like primitive black dolls but for this project I only wanted soft prim.

My plastic bag holder is currently hanging by the door so I can remember to return the bags for recycling when I go back to the store.

SOLD

This one of a kind hand sewn, hand painted African-American (black) rag doll stands 30 inches tall and wears a green and cream home spun dress with red accents. She has two gold ribbons in her long black hair and a red wool beret. Little black patent leather shoes and white socks adorn her feet. A sweet smile and big brown eyes were hand painted to make this doll one special creation.

Note: Because her skin is hand painted she does not have the cuddly feel of most cloth dolls. For this reason she is listed as ornamental, a shelf sitter or bed doll.

Removable clothing
Removable shoes and socks
Three removable hair ribbons
Heat treated to seal the acrylic paint
This perfect gift will arrive at your door signed, dated and numbered on her bum. She is doll #16.

There are no small parts. Child safe. No glue. The African-American Raggedy Ann doll is not included.

A Work In Progress

She’s coming right along. I need give her eye lashes as well as a few nicks and tucks then she’ll be all ready. Her red beret is so sweet.

Lisa and friend by you.

Both dolls were 100% hand stitched and hand painted. Their clothing is from rescued materials.
