DOLLS - THE CHINA DOLL - MEET MARINA

MARINA'S HAIR IS FINISHED!!

And I just love it!!

She turned out much better than what

I expected.

I had no idea that an OLD CHINA doll could

be made into a new doll.

I have not seen or heard of anyone doing this before!!

It is possible that I could be the first

that has ever put hair on a china doll.

Any imperfections however small they may be, always

show up in a photograph.

I thought that I had gotten all of the hair off her, but it

is apparent that I missed some hairs.

Perhaps a mini vacuum cleaner is needed!

I was going to use black hair, to mimic what the

doll had already, but decided against that idea.

It was better to soften up her features with some

dark brown hair.

Anyway once I held up the dark brown hair up to

her face - it spoke to me!

Marina has a little black speck on the side of her

nose. That is her mole.

Marina has now become one of my favorites!!

 MEET MARINA

Marina's hair is cut into a bob.

This hairstyle suits this kind of doll very well.

There are not many pictures here

so I hope you can see it.

The matching hat came as an after-thought.

Marina looked like she needed something

and a hat was the answer to this.

That piece of re-sis-tance - so to speak.

However, I think that I might put the hat

in her hand and leave her head and

hair free.

 Hair on the china dolls look great

from any angle.

You really do need to try this!!

It gives a whole new look to the china doll.

If you never liked a china doll before - maybe

just maybe, you would like to have one now.

I used cheap hairspray to keep her hair

from flying around. It needed to

stay straight.

A china doll's head is bigger than

the normal miniature dolls head.

Do take that into consideration.

You can always give her a hat.

Gee - I forgot to remove her hat!!

Thanks for stopping by!
