Poor Sweet Dolly

This sweet vintage Dolly is over 30 years old.

Once cherished and prized, the evidence of the ensuing years of neglect can be seen clearly on her precious little body.... 

and her lack of clothing.....

The hat is the only surviving piece of her original outfit.

  

You can see the poor state of her hair along with the rest of the damage wrought by time.

Isn't she cute?

 And those -grimy- little hands that are so perfect!

For the tender-hearted among you, don't despair!

I'll be back with her comeback and complete makeover.

(See Dolly's renewal here.)

Well, this is actually my first attempt at a doll I have had in my head for ages.

I sketched her and pinned her on my board and that's where she's been staring at me from for months.

I have to redo it since I'd like her facial features to be smaller altogether and change the shape of the head a bit, but that's the general idea after I straighten out all the kinks.

Next time, maybe I'll take some shots of the body too......
