Finished Project: Naomi's doll


 torn leg is not that easy to fix. This kind of vinyl resists being glued by most of your craft store glues. Everyone I tried would come loose within a couple days. Even glues "made for " vinyl would not bond with it. Is there hope?
Taking a childhood companion and making it like new or atleast a lot better, is a challange I cannot resist.  Naomi is a grown lady who recieved this doll new when she was 8 or 9 years old.  In searching her out I found she was made by EEGEE in the 1960s. 


this is what a new one in a smaller size looked like then.
got her face washed~

we tried different wigs to see what would look best. Who says you have to go with orginal?



The blonde was chosen!
She needed clothes next
the leg is attached and held good.
 Pretty hat with a butteryfly and she has one on the dress and jacket too.
 Naomi's doll is now ready to go home.
