I'm finally back on ebay....haven't listed for a while! This doll was one of my favorites last year.....I kept her hanging in my living room all year long. I sold these size/style dolls for $120-$140 at my shows and sold several. (Although there was only one Raggedy witch!) So this one is a bargain....starting at $40 or buy it now for $100!

It has been SO hot here! At 8:30 this morning, it was already 88 degrees outside and it is supposed to reach 100 today. Even with the air conditioner running, it still feels hot in this house! I am trying to work on painting dolls and the kitchen is hot....so I have to paint a while, then go stand in front of the a/c for a while. A good thing about the heat...my dolls dry in a hurry! At least I don't have to dry them around the fireplace. When I first started painting my dolls, I sat in front of the fireplace and painted, then sat them around the fireplace any place I could fit them. I had some hands drying and one fell in the fireplace and blazed!! I can't remember how I got it out, but I still used it. Just gave her some character! Once I caught a fabric crow on fire too! That hasn't been that long ago. I was baking some to dry and I guess one fell off the cookie sheet. I was cooking dinner and when I opened the oven smoke rolled out and something was burning on the bottom of the over.....my poor little crow. lol! So sad for my husband....some days he thinks I am cooking something delicious to eat, but he checks the oven and its just dolls. lol!
Your fireplace story reminded me of a doll class I was taking once with a friend. I had put pipe cleaners in the fingers so they would be poseable and forgot about them when I tea-dyed her and stuck her in the microwave. The first 30 seconds was OK. 30 more OK again. It was the third go around of 30 minutes that caught her arms on fire LOLOLOL Nothing happened to the microwave thank heavens. I dunked her poor arms under the water and was going to make slings for them and say she'd been in a car accident - but they crumbled too badly. So I had to cut them off at the elbow and start over LOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteOops, a couple of things (I shouldn't type so fast LOL). It was my doll (not my friend) who went into the microwave with pipe cleaners in her fingers. And the 3rd go around was 30 seconds not minutes LOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteOh, no, Jill!! I probably would have forgotten too....I have been accused of tearing up our last oven because of my doll baking. lol....can you believe that???
