Lizette Queen Anne Doll DC105
(Level 3) Join Leslie in creating this cloth doll
inspired from the 18th century carved wood
versions. Create a three dimensional needlesculpted cloth face; using a new technique, create
glass-like almond shaped eyes; and paint the face
decorated with stylized eyebrows, lashes, and
brightly rouged cheeks that characterize the “Queen
Anne” style dolls. Jointed arms, legs, and full
head wigging, as well as unique painting and finishing
techniques will give your doll a historic look.
