I don’t really like dolls unless they are antique but this one seemed so well made I had to buy it!! I almost put her back but she was too funny, reminds me, of me and “Girlfriend” Marcia Schulzke ) going to this awesome place on the coast, Yachats’ called Drift Inn. I looked up the artist on my phone… I guess they were hand sculpted, hand painted with clothing stitching by hand. Each doll taking up to six months to create! Wow! http://katherinescollectioncollectors.blogspot.com/p/h.html
