June Team challenge : Family

[Former_Member]

The theme for this month is Family. Do you make dolls in family sets? Have you made a doll inspired by someone in your own family? Show us your dolls that represent family. If the family reference isn't obvious, tell us the doll's story and why they represent family to you.

If you wish to join the challenge, just post a link here to your etsy listing showing your doll. You may post new dolls, dolls you already had made, or doll clothing items that fit into our theme.

You may post up to 5 dolls , however I may choose as few only one or more from each artist to include in our treasury depending on how many entries we receive.

At the beginning of next month, entries that are listed on Etsy will be included in our team treasury.

Please be sure that your items meet the challenge theme. Any other dolls may be listed in our New Listings thread www.etsy.com/teams/8062/dollmakers/discuss/9376132/

Grandmother Hippo is just getting ready to start her knitting for the day. She loves to knit things for her beautiful hippo grand babies. Today she is thinking that a set of booties for her newest grandson would be just the thing.

Everyone calls her "Our Peggy"...although no one can quite remember who she is related to.

This is a family of little Hedgehog people. There is a big sister who is off chasing her very spunky little sister but the rest of the family sit here together.

This is my surprise reborn pregnancy package. Which is as it's title suggests is to help complete a family. I base the doll off of a picture from mom/dad or mom or dad or mom/mom or dad/dad and I will get a sculpt which looks like the picture(s) and do the complexion and features to match the parent(s).

This doll was made for my mom to give my grandma for her 80th birthday. It was supposed to resemble her in her younger years, but truthfully the look spans the generations. The doll could easily represent grandma, my mom, my sister, or me :)<br>https://www.etsy.com/listing/231089202/steiner-doll-ooak-cloth-doll-waldorf-20<br>

This is a bit tangential so bear with me. My family is from the Shetland Islands and as a child my grandmother used to terrify me with stories about the Trow, the traditional goblin folk of the islands. I made this in homage to my grandmother, a great storyteller
