I have had her on display with similar dolls with that part of her body turned away (out of sight out of mind). It was Betty's kind gesture that motivated me to "just do something" for Lynn to make her whole. <br /><br />Hubby's creative talent far exceeds mine with reference to artist skills, but whenever I display a little bit of "what I can do, if I put my mind to it," I amaze myself. I am also glad to have his assistance and that of my son's, when needed.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-22958347077861831852013-05-25T18:17:48.472-05:002013-05-25T18:17:48.472-05:00Cute dollies.

That was very sweet of Betty to send you her doll. Doll people are the best for the most part. : )<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing Lynn finished.<br /><br />P.S. You and your husband are the dynamit duo. Lol!

I was like you at first with composition dolls, but after my experience of buying vintage vinyl fixer uppers at thrift stores to restore and sell, I knew I could work on composition. <br /><br />Begin with a small project, but first research what materials are best to use for the type of doll to be restored. Baby steps... take those first. Soon you'll find yourself leaping.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-8113850866342677452013-05-25T10:49:52.987-05:002013-05-25T10:49:52.987-05:00Thanks, Paulette.
