Playing with my doll, Charlotte
I am working through a difficult time in my life. The difficulties are not over yet, but I am working on how I deal with stress. So I've decided that I need to spend more time playing and taking care of myself. I made this little doll, Charlotte, when I was in the 5th grade. I had just started reading the "Little House" books by Laura Wilder. Laura's mother made her a doll and they named her Charlotte, so of course, I named my doll Charlotte.
She has stayed with me through 42 years and countless moves. Somewhere along the line, she lost her skirt and shawl. So today I made her a new skirt. I have some lovely, soft red merino wool yarn for a shawl.
Charlotte got her picture taken with some of my other dolls.....made by the clothing company, Flax. I found them while in Maine last summer. I printed the image on cloth and surrounded it with some of my favorite fabrics and phototransfered images of morning glories blooming on my front porch.
