Josephine, a doll by Patti LaValley

This is Josephine,
made from Susanna Oroyan's boudoir doll pattern.

Josephine is 26" tall. She is created from woven fabric for the body and paper clay over soft sculpt for the head, which is painted with acrylics and sealed.

Josephine is costumed in all vintage fabrics
and a real fox stole from the 1920's.
Her shoes are painted on and her hat is
from vintage millenary netting
embellished with silk roses and feathers.
