This is my forth doll my cousin wanted me to show her how to make a doll so she went and bought all the materials for her doll and I liked them so much that I used her left overs to make one of my own and this is her the hair is made of lace and her make up is in yellows and greens I love her wrist gloves and the beaded flower on her hat

So this is the third art doll I made she is a flapper by now I felt I was getting really good at the hands that are by for the hardest part of the doll she is wearing a scull cap made of lace and small beads I spent four hours just beading that little hat she is one of my personal favorites
