Artist: Wendy Rinehart
The Red Hat Ladies are more than an organization they have become a legend. This doll is hand sculpted with ProSculpt Caucasian Flesh over a wire armature and a hand made fabric costume. The hands and boots are hand crafted by Wendy. She was inspired to sculpt this doll by seeing the "Red Hat Ladies" at all of the doll shows. If the truth was known I think this doll could "spit" if she wanted to. If you don't understand the use of the word "Spit" you must read the poem, "When I get old I shall wear purple"

Shaylee "Queen of the Forest" is sculpted of ProSculpt Caucasian Flesh clay. She is animated to fly into the air in front of a life-like forest. We have chosen to show her without her back drop vignette for clarity of the sculpture. You may see the full doll, and the vignette in this same gallery. The costume, sculpture and the mechanical movement for the vignette are all made by Joe MacPhale. To fully appreciate this sculpture you must see in person.

The Medicine Man's Apprentice is 1/10th scale. He is made of ProSculpt Ethnic Brown clay. The warrior is hand sculpted out of ProSculpt clay. The Rino and his accessories are also sculpted by Christine. The hair is black corredale wool. The elephant grass fits the scale of the vignette perfectly, even though it is actually the artists yard. That gives you a clear understanding of the scale of the sculpture.

Sculpted of ProSculpt Baby Clay, this 21" life scale doll has sculpted head, hands and feet. The body is a soft sculpted fabric body with posable limbs. The dark blue eyes are blown glass.

Artist: Vikki Ebbeling
This life scale doll is sculpted of ProSculpt Baby Clay. The 3/4 arms and legs are attached to a soft hand sculpted posable body. The shoes are off the rack at her local baby doll store. That is the great thing about sculpting life scale babies, they become very easy to dress. The vignette helps to bring this baby to life.
