America - An old fashioned patriotic primitive pet doll.
America is approximately 22 inches tall.
She is my own design, a one of a kind girl. I used my own original patterns to make her.
America is one of a series of my pet dolls. Inspired by the pet china dolls of the late 1800s who have their names written on them.
She is made of muslin and stuffed with fiberfill.
Americas head, lower arms and lower legs have been painted in layers, sanded between each layer and given a final coat of stain. This process gives the head and limbs an aged – antique appearance, and makes them feel very much like leather.
Americas muslin body has been splashed with tea to give it an aged appearance.
She is wearing pantaloons that are made of muslin. Her dress is made of cotton fabric that has a patriotic stars and stripes theme. Sanding it soft and thin, patching, and dying it with tea have given her clothing a very aged look. She may have thin spots and a small hole here and there in her clothing.
America has blue painted eyes, black hair, red lips and blushed cheeks. Her stockings are painted an antique off-white color with blue ribbon bows painted at the tops of them.

She has been signed and dated on the back.
This girl looks as though she has been around for ages, fought some fierce battles and survived. She is a wonderful persona of our country.
This doll was made for décor and collector purposes – she is not a toy intended for young children.
