Izannah Walker Doll "Grace" & "Victoria


I have completed two more Izannah Walker Inspired Dolls. Grace, which is a 17" doll and Victoria which is a 7". I love the size of both of these dolls and will continue to do both consistently. The little ones are so adorable to hold in your hands and display nicely on a small nook or shelf.

"Victoria" - Ebay Auction Here

"Grace" - Ebay Auction Here


First up is Grace. She is 17" doll. I love her colors. I am an earth girl and am always drawn to earthy colors. She looks beautiful in her warm brown colors of her dress.

She is a Dixie Redmond pattern. She is a cloth doll with sculpted head/shoulder plate.



Her assemblage is very much like the original Izannah Walker dolls, including a second skin under her clothing.




Her clothing consists of a chemise with beautiful lace trim, pantaloons, petticoat, and her full skirt attached to her bodice. I also made her an apron which was very commonly worn in those times.








Her hair is painted like the original style of early Izannah Walker dolls with the curls on the side of the head and at the base of her head in the back.





Check out her Ebay auction. She is amazing to hold, quite a significant doll at 17".

Meet Victoria. She is such a sweetie at 7". She is dressed in a cream colored fabric with navy blue print. She is a cloth doll with sculpted head/shoulder plate.



Her hair is softly painted warm brown. Her facial features are the traditional downward gaze and somewhat melancholy look. Which his my favorite IW look.






Under her dress she wears a tiny pair of linen pantaloons edged in lace. Her boots are hand painted with the traditional bow.





Check out her Ebay auction. I just love these little tiny ones and holding them in my hand feels so wonderful!

Thank you and hope you check out the auction! They are anxiously awaiting their new homes!
