Victoria Ann and Babette Bun E. are both Primitive Raggedy dolls handmade by me, Raggedy Jayne.
Victoria Ann is about 18 inches tall. Her hands have individual fingers that are stuffed. Both are made from muslin and stuffed with polyfi.l. I tea-stained her and Babette and their lil' clothes with tea, vanilla and cinnamon then I baked them. Victoria Ann's dress is made from a pink cotton print with little dots printed all over it. The colors of the dots are turquoise blue, yellow, green and pinks. The skirt part of the dress is pink and white stripes with pink rick rack trim that I handstitched on. I used light blue felt for the collar and stitched on a pink button. Her bloomers are muslin. I stitched her nose, eyelashes, eyebrows, mouth and smile with DMC embroidery floss.
Her eyes are painted and shaded. I blushed her cute cheeks. I painted her shoes black and socks ivory, then sanded to give a worn look. I sewed little old buttons on each shoe. I handstitched burgundy yarn to the top of her head to make ponytails and bangs. I added ribbons to match her dress. For Babette Bun E. I made her jumpsuit from pink with white polka dot fabric. I handstitched her eyes, nose and mouth with DMC embroidery floss. I added sisal rope strands for whiskers and blushed her cheeks. Her ears are poeable and when stretched out she measures about 15 inches or so. You can pose her ears in lots of ways making her have a different personality!
This pair would be a great little Easter decoration or gift. All my dolls are made for decoration and for collecting and not for children. Victoria Ann has her own hangtag that I tea-stained and painted her face and handstamped Victoria Ann. I sewed a loop of thread on the back of her and Babette to hang by. The two can be displayed together or separately. They are not sewed together. For the photos I temporarily pinned them together to show how they would look together. It is up to you how to display them. I think they make a sweet pair!
I used a Sweet Meadows Farm pattern to create Victoria Ann with some lil' extras! Babette Bun E. is made from a Ragg Bagg Baby's pattern. The set will come to you signed and dated by me, Raggedy Jayne!
