This is a drawing in my moleskine of my inner child doll. I had a very full and prolonged childhood. I invision my inner child doll as worn out. She is made from muslin for the body and an old embroyered hand towl with a slip of old cotton lace. At present she has only one leg, but I am thinking of creating a button on leg. It just seems right. The injury was to my left hip, though no one could tell I was EVER ever hurt, I still hurt in the hip. I hate the A word (arthritis, an aging disorder...). The doll will apear in her "flesh" when I feel she is finished. Lizzzy

oh I love it, I truly do. This has inspired me to make an inner child doll for myself, but I love yours - I just love it! I guess we all have scars on various parts of our bodies/souls - great idea for the button on leg - if only you could do this in real life to take the pain away - unbutton when the pain starts and button back on when it stops xoxo
Lizzzy it's great to see some of your work.....the inner child doll is going to be wonderful.
I can't wait to see how this manifests itself in to the doll. I love the idea of doing this for yourself and fill it with so much meaning. The sketch shows it will be fabulous. I have a white cotton vintage baby dress I bought at a flea market, you've inspired me to maybe make a doll with it.
XO
Good work Lizzzzzy!
