Apple Dumpling DesignsDilu, you have simply outdone yourself. She incredibly gorgeous....I love her...and of course purple is MY favorite color. I love her little shoes!!!
You'll have to make more of this style!!
Superb, Dilu! Did you sculpt her shoes?
Dilu Murasaki Hana is superb for sure !! Everything about her is!! Bravo!! I agree with Shantell, you have to make more!! I have to know too if you sculpted her shoes.
Congratulations on job well done Dilu!

Will you please give in here your names, the ones that want to participate on the Anime Golly swap? We have to start getting ready if we want to do it. Dilu and I are in. I think it will be so much fun!

Posts: 8,574I have another little lady to finish and get up here.....
NOW: Before anyone says anything: The kimonos aren't completly traditional. Its the sleeves. The traditional sleeves have these nifty little pockets inside....but I was worried that these girls would hide chocolate in there and then forget all about it. Can you imagine the mess?!
I'm glad you all are liking them. I liked doing it because of the challange, and our very own Marie 
helped me with the names.
You did a beautiful job with all of her and no...not good if she could hide chocolate!! I do like to work with Cernick ( another kind of clay ) but, at this time of the year, I
do not like the idea of turning up the oven!!
I felt yesterday, like the bear in this picture!! I am , tanks to the Lord, more in the pink today!

My very first golly! First off, it's not a proper golly. My only experience with dolls has been making raggedy, folk art-y cloth dolls, so that's what I decided to do. She's not jointed and has button eyes since I didn't have any black glass eyes big enough. Her hair is fake fur. So . . . since she's not a really nice, technically correct girl, I won't join in the swap and will give her to one of my bears for a playmate. I made her bottle cap necklace, also. She's 10 1/2" tall. Thanks for taking a look.
Wowie, that's darling, Sue Ann! Is there anything you can't do??? I love her!

Better not answer that here.....PM me if you like.....but....uh...... :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
Sue Ann, I am with Shelli and Dilu. She is GREAT! :clap: Like Dilu, I will love to have her come to live with us!! Do be part of the swap PLEASE :pray: Gollies are fun to make and they bring a smile every time you pass them by!
The construction of a Golly, really is not too different from a Raggedy Ann doll, some of them you can make more like a bear ( jointed ) but, one way or the other they are GREAT!
Thanks for sharing the picture! Good job :clap:
Bear hugs and Golly kisses

Past Time BearsWell, maybe I should explain myself. I tweaked, twisted, and made a few adjustments to my basic doll design instead of working out a new, fresh golly design with joints, glass eyes, etc. In case I decide to make more gollies, I've ordered some wool roving to use as hair rather than the fake fur. Anyhoo, Dilu, you are the High Priestess of golly making and I have a loooooooong way to go before I reach your - and all you other expert doll makers' - level. Psssst . . . my golly doesn't have underpants, so all the tacky sewing shows under her skirt, too. I'd just feel better keeping this first one since I don't think her quality is quite as good as it should be. :redface: :redface: :redface:
Posts: 8,574Oh Sue Ann;
Dilu, you are the High Priestess of golly making
You made me cry my friend, because that is such a kind thing to say, and coming from you? Well that goes into that special place in my heart where I save the extra specials to savor over and over.
Now, don't anyone tell Deb Canaham......teehee.... 
Thank you Renae! I am so glad that you guys like the challenge and that people that never maybe thought they will make a Golly, are making them and ..having fun!!! They are a lot of fun and you are right Renae, one of the wonderful things about Gollies is that, like I said when we started..Anything goes with them!
I just finished another Golly, a ballerina, that is going to a a friend and a baby boy ( I think I am keeping him! ) I will take pictures tomorrow to show you guys.
Bear hugs and Golly smiles.

Hi you guys. I am dead tired after the joys of house cleaning but, like I told you I am going to show you guys in here the Anime golly ballerina I made for my friend's "B" day. I was going to make her dress pink because I have the pink ballet shoes ( I do...where ...? That is the problem!! ) I end up making her shoes and her out fit blue, to match her blue eyes. I did made a little Anime golly baby. He has a pink ( heart shape ) mouth. I put an armature in his arms and that way he can "suck" his thumb 
. Both of them are made out of flannel and their mouthes are felt, their eyes are onyx and the Ballerina ( does not have names yet!! ) has Mohair hair nd the baby I don't know the nema of the fabric, is one of those fabrics that i see and I say to myself...I can used this one day!! I am sure you guys know the 'feeling" 
Ok I better go and have a cup of coffee i do need it after all that work!!
Bear hugs and Golly smiles.

Past Time BearsTooooo cuuuuute, Gladys!!
Posts: 8,574You can be here so much and get to know so many people you can easily forget that THIS is a world wide forum!
Thank you Sue Ann and Dilu. You guys make me feel sooooooooo happy that you, that are so good at what you make, like my Gollies!! The Ballerina ( I need NAMES!! HELP PLEASE!!!! ) her eyes are not onyx ( the baby's are ) her eyes are... .Do I dare to say it?? Plastic 
Like I said...for me ..ANYTHING goes for Gollies! The Ballerina.....I think I got a name!! What do you think about "Trina Ballerina"?? Her arms have armature too, like you can see she loves to pose for the camera!! The baby, you can not see it too good ( the photographer' fault!! 
) but, he has a little belly bottom. Now I am making his Mum...I think he is too young for her sisters to take care of him
You are right Dilu, we sometimes forget how small the world gets on TT!! Our beloved Gollies are being meet by a lot of people!!
Thank you again ladies.
Bear hugs and Golly smiles
Gladys
