Betsy The Dark Tale Of A Faire Dolly And Her Truest Friend Anna Also Making A Simple Rag Doll With Grandmother Shepherd (Gi

One of my earliest memories, from first or second grade, is of making a doll and sharing it with a child overseas. Today with a degree in fine arts from CCAD and one in art education from Ohio State University, I am still making dolls for children. As a longtime member of the Virginia Renaissance Faire, I have been spinning, weaving, dying wool and teaching children of all ages to make my rag dolls. I created my own design, with no sewing or stuffing, especially for teaching outdoors at faire. And I change them each year to make them better. But always keeping the dolls as period correct as possible so they serve as teaching tools as well as fun keepsakes.
