Do you remember this face?
Catalina is a reproduction of one of the most distinguished wooden early Queen Anne Dolls made around 1720 ca. in Great Britain. My doll stands 20 inches tall, exquisite wood-carving and she is dressed in textiles dating back to mid 19th century. I have posted many pictures of Catalina, if you are interested to see more,
let me know. I also want to share with you a picture while I was
carving her beautiful face ( linden wood one-piece head and torso,
fully jointed body) Enjoy it!

Under her bonnet, she is wearing a black cotton skull cap, just like the original doll
Her quilted petticoat is made from a beautiful early example of 19th century French block printed and resist dyed textile
Bodice: early calico, probably imported from
Europe in the 19th century.
Delightful French silk brocaded textile dating about 1840's
Apron: French lace from the Victorian Era
Her chatelaine is lovely!, it has a needle case and pincushion that I made from a 19th c. resist dyed print cotton. The pincushion comes with tiny sewing pins! The brass-silk button and petit stork scissors are antique accessories dating from the Victorian Era.
Last but not least, her high-heel brocade silk
lace-up boots, with leather soles, I made them
from a late 18th century Italian brocade

Catalina was in my project board for a few weeks, I have put several hours to make a replica
of the original doll, she is finished now and I am thrilled with her........I think it was worth the wait!
