Yes, I Made a Doll

In the early 1990s I made a circus performance set-up complete with tack, ring, and doll rider.

 (Anne Field, this is why I asked YOU to make my new doll and didn't do it myself!)

I poked around on Identify Your Breyer trying to figure out which Brenda Breyer I had used. Judging by the shirt, it was an English rider doll. But the hair puzzles me - I don't see any English dolls with short hair.

She is from the early 1990s and can bend her legs, but that is the only articulation she has.

I made a harness for Liberty to wear, painted a huge quilting hoop and affixed gold star stickers to it, added some footing, and showed them in performance classes at live shows.

 Believe it or not, the set-up did well and qualified for the very first NAN in 1995.

It even placed in the Top Ten! (Which is an indication as to how far Performance entries have come since 1995.)

I'm still under post-op lifting restrictions, but I will see if Craig will pull out some tubs for me where I think I have the harness stored as well as a photo of the circus entry from NAN 1995. Stay tuned!
