The Adventures of a Doll Doctor in Canada

Your favorite childhood doll or toy has just been found stuffed away in a box in the basement? It is cracked and dirty and your family urges you to throw it out. But it is full of memories and despite its many flaws, you just cannot discard it. Doll doctors and restoration artists can help. Many of the saddest dolls and toys can be restored. I restore dolls from my home base in Ontario. Wintertime however, finds me packing up a few projects and fleeing to Florida to work in the sunshine!

More fingers

This is a small hand from a composition ball-jointed body. It is missing 2 fingers plus has old repair material and paint still attached.

This is the hand with the aging repair compound and paint removed.

This is the hand with the missing fingers rebuilt and the paint blended into the old finish.

Hello Dr. Darci,

My name is Jennifer and I have a circa 1930's composite doll that is in need of repair. I am wondering how I can arrange for you to exam her? Her name is Arabelle.

Thank you,
Jennifer
