Introducing Lucia

Originally, I was designing this doll as a commission.  Unfortunately, or I should say fortunately I had a mini doll showing at my home last night at the request of my friend Carol.


 Carol has been spreading the word about my dolls around the community and amongst her friends. Well, a few of them wanted to drop by and take a look at some of my work and possibly purchase some of the dolls I had to sell. 


Lucia was sitting on my work space ( I had just finished her along with another that I was getting ready to ship out) and an elderly gentleman who had come along ( he was actually the cab driver of one of the women who came to purchase) spotted her and said that he would like to purchase her!


 I was a little dumbstruck because I did not even know that he was looking at the dolls LOL. He was actually speaking to my husband while the other women were looking at each doll. Well needless to say, she sold on the spot and I managed to sell two others as well. I also got a commission for another doll for next month! 


What a blessing it was to have sold three dolls (cash) and have a commission on one, especially when I was not expecting it! I often paint just because I love it and get so much pleasure out of crafting and just creating these dolls. Wow!


Thanks goes out  first and foremost to God from who all blessing flow...


 To my friend Carol for being a blessing to me by spreading the word of Chynadoll Creations with folks wanting to own a Chynadoll Creation... 


Fran of www.thriftstoredolls.blogspot.com who goes out and finds these wonderful dolls for me to use as my canvas... 


and last but not least... my dear friend who commissioned me to do this doll in the first place. I have since spoken to her and told her about this and she was thrilled. I plan to do another doll for her in Lucia's place.  She totally understood. I also promised her that her doll will still go out on schedule and that I will not have another showing before I get to mail it out to her LOL.




So.... After all that LOL

sealers. Her hair was styled in a twisted blow out
style.

This is Lucia, Marty's granddaughter. He is
putting the doll aside for her until she is older :)

Marty asked me if I could put a bow in her hair
for his grandbaby. How cute!
