Mariah, African-American Ragdoll

Published on March 6, 2011 in African-American Rag Doll, Black Children, Crafts, Originals, Rag Doll and Therapy dolls. 2 Comments

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’

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.

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.
