Izannah Walker Dolls
Izannah F. Walker, one of America's earliest known female doll makers, was born in 1817 in Bristol, Rhode Island. She applied for a patent of her process in 1873, but had been making dolls for decades before this.
Her dolls are an iconic part of American history, and I have been fascinated with making reproduction Izannah Dolls since I first learned of Ms. Walker and her work in 2010.
To Order a custom Izannah
To customize an Izannah for you, I offer a series of choices.
Choose the size--10, 15/16, and 18/19 inches.
Then choose:
a. hair color (blond, red, brown, black) and hair style (wispy, ringlets, waves)
b. eye color, (blue, green, grey, or brown)
c. painted boots/bare feet.
Clothing is up to me, but I will aim to make the dress in colors you prefer--like primaries, pastels, or earth tones.
Your custom Izannah doll can be ready within two to three weeks, depending on other orders already in cue.
