Topsy needs a massive skull repair

 This cutie is a 'Topsy' doll. From the 30's and 40's...named after a character from 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'.
She has met with a severe accident.
She has several cracks and part of her head is missing.

































Here is Topsy in the midst of getting her head rebuilt.
She now has a metal mesh spanning the head defect and several layers of epoxy putty are getting applied overtop.















Head repair done and painted to match the original finish.

















Love the hairdo!


















A dress and some hair bows complete her.....
