CHRISTINA

 
Christina is my second doll with a full facial repaint. She has been given tri-tone green eyes, dark brown eyeliner & eyebrows, and dark brown rooted eyelashes. Her lips have been repainted rosy pink. Her hair has been restyled and she has been given simple pink and crystal rocaille jewelry, accented with a single teardrop Czech bead. Her costume was crocheted from a pattern from Annie's Attic's Calendar Bed Doll Series: Miss August 1995 (Bridal Trousseau collection). She is a turn of the century, 1900 lady, but I have made her more glamorous and modern. I omitted her gloves and made a few minor changes to the pattern. Her costume is made with white and baby pink cotton DMC Cebelia thread, and trimmed with ribbon and ribbon roses.

 

 

 

 

Christina is named for my Grandma, who is the recipient of this doll.

 

This doll fought me every step of the way. Nothing was easy about her, and anything that could go wrong, DID. But I do like how she turned out.

This doll was formerly a blonde Pretty in Plaid Barbie. I put her head on an older bent arm body, and I slightly reshaped her arms.

 

Psst- First dollie pics with the new digital camera...It can only get better. :)
