Not wanting spend too much on my initial efforts, Katie was made from the Berenguer 14" Lots To Love Doll shown below.  

She is now 17" Preemie size baby.

    Below is my 2nd doll.  Her name is Ellie. She started life as a 20" Berenguer La Baby with a very "orangey" complexion.

I wish I had taken better pictures to show this doll.  Since she has already been given away as a gift I will have to get her new mommy to provide some nicer  photos.

    This doll was made from a 14" vintage Ideal Tiny Thumbelina doll.  Her hair had been almost loved away & her coloring had faded.   After repainting her - inside & out - I rerooted her hair in jet black.  Her eyes are now green & her lashes & brows are brown.

The 2nd photo is just after finishing rerooting.  The 3rd is while it was still wet while I was cutting it.  Her hair has been trimmed & thinned more since this picture.  Hopefully I can get a new photo up soon. Maybe when I find her body.  I put it away someplace safe while I rerooted. I am guessing that wherever it is - it's still safe.

I think she looks like a baby Kelly Osbounrne.  What do you think?
