Crazy Old Handmade Oil Cloth Red Headed Doll with Amazing Embroidered Face old knife tray Still pretty greatOmg, this girl! I think she's got about as much personality as any doll I've seen, amplified many times over by the years she has endured! She's made of oil cloth, with this fantastic hand embroiled face (those eye lashes!) and sculptural rolls of yarn for hair, and I believe is stuffed with cotton batting. I especially love her hands, with individuated fingers, outlined in pink stitching, and there is more pink reinforcing seams here and there.
