Here is Mallory and her baby doll. I did this sculpt a while ago and never finished her. She reminds me of a sweet and gentle little girl that has no cares in the world. She takes good care of her dolly and does whatever her mom wants her to do!!! JK - that sounds too good to be true. Well it is! She is only a doll and you can make up anything when you are the artist!!!
She is one of my larger sculpts - if she were standing she would be about 22" or so. She is dressed in silks - white taffeta on top and pink seersucker for the skirt. The ribbon and roses trim is all silk - love this stuff - I use it often.
The baby doll is another sculpt I have had laying around here. Her top is bought - love finding little stuff I can use. Have you ever tried to sew tiny clothes??
I made her little bloomers to match the skirt. I used some hand-dyed lace and made her hat! Lots of hand sewing went into that!
Her pearl headband is made from Austrian Swarovski pearls. Love them too.
I made her wig out of mohair (that comes from goats - really!). Have you seen auburn colored goats?? It's the newest thing.
Not really.
So now if you comment on Mallory by the end of the day Wednesday August 18th I will do a giveaway to one of you - a full set of greeting cards (my own of course). You can see them on my website: www.sarahniemela.com. If you are the winner you will have to send me your real address when I contact you.
If you are the only one who comments - well, that was easy!

not so fast, Laura! it says to make a comment about Mallory. So there!
I think she's adorable (I don't know how in the world you make those clothes...).
All your dolls are beautiful!! Mallory is wonderful! How is that for a comment :)
You can take "nothing" and make something so beautiful out of it! I'm soooo impressed! I love Mallory's dolly too!
You are giving her away? Wow.
I love how she has a little dolly! She's so cute!
Now Lois, you must read a little more carefully - no, I can't give her away quite yet....but I will give away a set of my greeting cards and if you win you can just look at my dolls on them!
The first time through I also was thinking you were giving the doll away too! Had to go back and read it after seeing your response to Lois. I love your dolls, everyone of them are beautiful!
Mallory is gorgeous! I discovered your site about 2 weeks ago, and I am enjoying it!
I'm going to push my luck and try to win...again. I really love Mallory and her little doll! One of these days when I'm rich, I'll own one of your creations.
Just found you on here, Sarah, thanks for adding me as a 'friend'! I'm enjoying looking through all your work; beautiful dolls
If I send my children to you, can you make them like Mallory? (Does anything her mom says?) :) Beautiful doll Sarah!
Hi Sarah! I hope I win. I already used all the pretty cards you once gave me :) :) Mallory is beautiful, as all of your dolls are. And I can't wait to see you, SOON!
