"Tiny, wooden, articulated dolls -
from - Fred Thompson
This is the back view of the tiny articulated, fully jointed doll that Fred sent me as a gift. She is approx. 6 inches tall with her stand (the heart-shaped base shown here). She is hand carved and painted. Her shoulders, elbows, buttocks and knees move as they are fully carved and can be posed. The bottom of her hand-painted shoe has a peg which fits into the heart-shaped stand.
At one time, Fred carved hundreds of these little dolls in raw form. He intended to finish and paint each doll but is now not able to complete the work and wishes to sell these carvings as kits.
As you can tell from the picture to the left, the faces, hair, and shoes are not completed. If you are a wood carver or a doll artist, you might be interested in purchasing these kits from Fred. Let you imagination GO....They could be costumed as well as painted for clothing. Click on the picture to take you to a larger view, if you wish. Then close that window to return to this page.
Due to Fred's illness, his doll kits are no longer for sale.
