16" bonnet head. Restoration to face only.
16" model #302. Restoration to face. Needs a wig next.
A 14" bonnet head doll got some facial work....
and some touchups to her bonnet.
This 14" is model 313. She has smooth eyes instead of the more common intaglio eyes.
This is a 14" 308 model.
This is model 103
This carved hair girl just wanted a bit more colour.
This is a 21" sleep-eyed Miss Dolly.
This is model 204
This is Schoenhut's manikin. He had some touch ups that stood out a bit too much (left picture).
The touchups were removed (top right picture).
Then he got new touch ups to blend in better (bottom right picture).
This larger Schoenhut doll got several touch ups.
This 14" Schoenhut girl got touch ups.
Again, more touch ups.
Beautiful! It's always nice to see your work. You do such an amazing job of keeping the originality of the dolls. I love the yellow flowers on the bonnet 💛🌼💛

ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful restorations! I'm actually a nurse, and apprenticed and worked for a local doll hospital on my days off starting 34 years ago! I now do some restoration for folks from home. I'm tackling my first Schoenhut now! Has several dings and nicks. How do you fill them before painting? Or do you sand? I've done compo and bisque/china before but never wood!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Fred
