Evolution of my handmade dolls
Though I still keep creating & inventing new doll styles, here are the first few styles I made.

This is the first doll I ever made. I did a bunch of these with no features and random fabric for skin.

I did doll versions of my Cappy Chic & Latte Girl characters. They are posable with wire in their arms & legs. There is a problem with head balance especially versions with lots of hair.

I went larger, making a fashionable doll with posable arms and legs. Even though the larger size is much easier to make  I only made two of these.
4
I decided to try a more child-like baby doll. This size is easy to work with but I moved up to using yarn for the hair to cover more mass. This style is the chosen model I usually use though it still takes me a couple days to make.
5
As an experiment I followed a pattern in a book to make a topsy-turvy doll. Love it but it takes a bit more patience/skill to complete.
