I've had difficulty uploading images to my blog posts from my computer since last week. I have to use a workaround in order to include images, which is frustrating. I'm already using Wordpress for my virtual doll museum. I might have to move this blog there if Goggle/Blogspot doesn't repair the image uploading glitch.

In my mind, they are from a group of the last dolls Justyne Smith made that her nephew passed on Trish Williams who passed them on to me. They were more disheveled with rumpled clothing and mussed hair than anything else. It was my poor decision to "wash" them for disinfectant purposes not knowing what they had been exposed to before they arrived here. I thought about spraying them with fabric sanitizer before the decision to wash them. I know what not to do with the remaining others. A gentle damp wipe off, recombing the hair, and sprucing up the clothes is really all these needed and that's my plan for the remaining five.<br /><br /> Black Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-62536558169347982832024-02-29T15:11:52.662-06:002024-02-29T15:11:52.662-06:00I do have "Cinnamon" twins now.

She was against the 'over-smiling' doll. She therefore played on the asymmetry of proportions to give her dolls realistic faces" and to allow them to stand and be posed without the need of a doll stand.
