Dan- those are sensational. They have a nice folk art quality to them. I see some business potential there. How does she do the faces?

Thanks guys...Barry, she paints the faces. They are very much a folk art style doll. About 5 or 6 years back I was up at her house and I saw a couple of dolls in this style that she had made...I told her that if she could make a doll like that and slap a baseball uniform on it, it would be perfect...so she did and the rest is history. I'll take an updated shot tonight that includes the Mordecai Peter Centennial "three finger" Brown she made me for my birthday. I still haven't decided on who I want her to make for Christmas.

Do you know the total time it takes to make one of them? I really think they are great.
I see running across the bottom row Cy Young, Christy Mathewson, Jackie Robinson, Ty Cobb, and Joe Jackson. Or is that Mike Kelly, with Young to his left? Last edited by barrysloate; 08-26-2009 at 11:42 AM.

I'm not sure of her total time to make one....I'd have to ask, but I know she doesn't just sit down and make it in a day...she does a bit and comes back to it. It is Mike King Kelly in the gray uniform...and actually I had her make Smokey Joe Wood, but sometimes the face doesn't always come out how she wants it to, so if someone sees Cy Young instead, that's fine. She uses the Hall of Fame's Uniform Database for colors and style. My favorite is the first one she made for me...Old Hoss Radbourne on the top row. I should have asked her to make him 'flipping the bird'

I was identifying them by the uniform. It is a little tough doing it by facial features. And while many African-Americans played for the Dodgers, I naturally guessed Jackie.

Just saw Jim's post.
 The ears may not be right, but check out the funky shoes on Joe Wood and Mike Kelly. That is really amazing! Last edited by barrysloate; 08-26-2009 at 11:53 AM.
