Primitive Folk Art Mammy Doll

My first Mammy Doll, here she is.  She is inspired by a Mammy Doll crafted in 1850, I saw a picture in one of my prim decorating books and thought I'd try my hand at making one.

The Mammy that I patterned her after had such wonderful character, she had leather arms and legs with a fabric body and head.

This Mammy is my rendition of her.  My Mammy is a fabric body doll, her arms & legs have been aged to have a leather look about them. She is partially rag stuffed.  I made her dress from aged fabrics & did some hand stitchin' on her clothes. Found some old rings in my button box for earrings.

Mammy is 19" tall

America's Sweethearts

They are both very proud to be Americans and like to show Patriotism for their country.
