Have to say, I just don’t see her that way anymore. She is just as sweet and childlike as the day I made her and am quite happy that of all the five inch little girl dolls I made like this, I kept her. After having made some slightly larger polymer dolls last year, she seems quite delicate now. I think when time allows this year, I will replace her arms and legs with more articulated wood ones and she will be capable of a much wider range of motion and emotion. Something to look forward to!
And to see Robin staring in some dolly drama, you can visit the Stories section of my website – she is in a few:
I’m so glad you are seeing Robin Rose with fresh eyes again, Christine. She is a lovely girl, made extra special by her flowered ponytail holders. I always identify her by those!
I think the Hooligans must have got to her with their antics and that’s why she was acting “authoritarian” for a time. Everyone needs a time out now and again and are usually better for it when they return. Of course, having a little clown bear always helps to put things in perspective! Has she honked Robin Rose’s nose yet? That’s always a sure sign of them hitting it off well. Just ask Omri and Opal Joy. They’ll tell you it’s true!
I’ll have to ask her about the honking thing. Maybe it works like hitting the reset button on one’s sense of humor – we all need a bit of that from time to time :)
