Claire - Yo Yo Collectible Handcrafted sold Fabric Doll

"Claire"

This sweet girl is adorable in her red flower bud on ivory print. Her complimentary fabrics is a sparkling lime green. Claire has soft chocolaty gray curls with silver sparkles.

Claire 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. Claire's head is a yo yo made from soft flannel with a hand drawn face. Her hair is made from a chocolatey gray soft yarn with silver sparkles. New hypoallergenic stuffing was used for her head, body, hands, and feet. She measures approximately 11.5" long lying down and about 9" tall when sitting. Claire can sit on her own when 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 sold 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. Thanks for stopping by Sursy Shop! 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.
