That is the way I am with the blogs I follow. It just works out better that way.<br /><br />Thank you for the happy birthday wishes. I did have a great time and was sufficiently spoiled by those who don't mind doing that for me. :-) <br /><br />I have not been able to determine the original Patty-Jo's construct. She feels like a lightweight composition, but she could be a heavier-than-usual hard plastic. I know the Terri Lee company did make some composition dolls early on and that medium was still being used in 1947 when Patty-Jo was manufactured, but that was at the beginning of the US doll industry's use of hard plastic as well. I have her documented in my book as hard plastic, but I really am unsure. Either way, my cloth version that reminds me of the comic strip character is really a sweet doll. Some people are creeped out by dolls without facial features, but I am not one. I "might," and this is a weak "might," create features for her using felt. That will be the safest way for me to do so myself and maintain control over the overall outcome. We shall see...<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-67021466845806211012017-06-09T14:47:04.805-05:002017-06-09T14:47:04.805-05:00Sorry for overloading with comments, but we have a...Sorry for overloading with comments, but we have a long weekend here and now I get the opportunity to read your posts properly and respond thoughtfully! Firstly HAPPY (very belatedly) BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you had a great time and we're further spoiled. So being a big comic fan I was definitely intrigued by Patty Jo and think I now am in both in love with your Patty Jo and the original celluloid (?) Patty Jo!!! You'd think that having no face Patty Jo might be a little creepy, but I agree she's just delightful, and you can kind of give her any attitude you want. Just a lovely creation. 😍Julius Maloneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006134062866647709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-73103350120322368152017-06-04T15:14:10.038-05:002017-06-04T15:14:10.038-05:00Hi Arlette,
