Azalea - Yo Yo Collectible Handcrafted order Fabric Doll

"Azalea"

This adorable girl is so sweet in her hand dyed batik fabrics in shades of light and dark pink. She has lovely pink curls to match.

Azalea was created using 34 yo yos (gathered fabric rounds) from quilting fabric for her arms and legs. Her body and ruffled collar are also made from the same quilting fabric as well as the handmade tag on her rear. Azalea's head is a yo yo made from soft flannel with a hand drawn face. Her hair is made from soft pink yarn. New hypoallergenic stuffing was used for her head, body, hands, and feet. She measures approximately 10.75" long lying down and about 8.5" tall when sitting. Azalea can sit on her own when order she finds her balance.

Each yo yo doll will include a card with his/her name, date of completion and a poem I wrote to pay tribute to all of those yo yos of yesteryear.

Yo yo clowns/dolls have been around for a long time...you may remember Jingling Jack from the 1950s, and over the years, I have received numerous requests to recreate the cute clown. I apologize for those who have waited so long (years!) for me to come up with my own take of this classic doll. I have tried and discarded many ideas, but I finally settled on a design. :) I didn't want to make just clowns, so I will be posting a little variety of what I am calling "yesterday's yo yo dolls". Enjoy and if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them. Robin

**I am happy to change the name of a doll if you prefer something different. Include a message at checkout and I will change the name card accordingly.
