This is a good angle to explain my skull cap concept. With a stiffened head it is impossible to sew in to. Too hard. 
I make a skull cap out of a double layer of t-shirt fabric, sew it in an oval shape, turn it and stuff it with polyfill. I then glue it to the head. Now I can sew all the hair on.
The pile of lavender fabric strips were sewn in to tubes. The tubes were turned and a pipe cleaner is inserted. I gather the fabric along the tube and do a little twisting and bending in half to create my hair pieces.I love what I get to do. . . . . .I am driven to challenge myself. To constantly differ my style with every doll. Maybe just a little tweek that nobody else might see. Maybe this is not a smart idea. You guys tell me. Can you see something consistent and distinct about my work that identifies it as mine?

I loved to see how you attached the hair Nat... I do think she looked kinda cute with it looking like a cap with the hair falling out.

I know they are by you for the reason of the love you put in shows. The expressions are wonderful. I like the little tid bits you choose to show and illustrate.
All your dolls have this certain quality thats says NAT.
Love the hair on her, pip cleaners who would a thunk.
Smiles,

Very unique.
It's the eyes, body posture and expression that make you stand apart...I think I would recognize your figures anywhere. They are open and inviting...there is humor and poignancy about them...the darker ones still have that 'human' quality that we, the viewer, can connect with...as well as a bit of humor.
Your dolls are so cute, I love their little faces :)
fantastic. Love your style.
