Today I'd like to share a picture of a little doll that my mother once played with. It was hand made by either my grandmother or great grandmother in the 1940's. I think it would technically be considered folk art today. I really admire the handy needle work that was put into it. I'm not sure how they colored her jacket and skirt flowers but they appear to be some sort of dye that was painted on.
I think she is really sweet and like the fact that whoever created her added a ball in her hand.
If I were more talented with a needle, I'd entertain the thought of recreating her...I can picture other dolls with ringlets and holding kittens, puppies or flowers...
