Hi doll makers! Are you ready to try something new? Dixie Redmond will repeat her Izannah Walker workshop in the fall. This is an indepth online class that covers how to make a realistic Izannah Walker doll. For details, visit her website at: http://izannahwalkerworkshop.blogspot.com/ or click on the title of this post.
Izannah Walker was the first woman to get a US patent in the 1870's. Dixie's website - The Izannah Chronicles - has some wonderful pictures of these rare dolls. Even if you don't take the online class, be sure to visit her website and view the dolls.
Also - one more note about the green bottle Turoinoid - after asking around, it has come to my attention that this product is a brush cleaner and should not be used as a painting medium. However, the Turpinoid in the blue bottle is a painting medium and can be used on dolls.
Now enjoy this wonderful spring day and have some doll fun this week! Thanks for stopping by - Julie

It has been a wonderful workshop for me. I strongly advise it to anyone who loves to create dolls, even if Izannah is not particularly your forte. Dixie has so much good advice. And her patterns are wonderful!
