Jolene - buy Yo Yo Collectible Handcrafted Fabric Doll

"Jolene"

This adorable girl is so beautiful in her lovely yellow and white eyelet floral print. Her complimentary fabric is a matching yellow tonal batik. Jolene has curly yellow hair with a sweet white lace bow with yellow pearls.

Jolene was created using 34 yo yos (gathered fabric rounds) from a variety of quilting fabric prints for her arms and legs. Her body and ruffled collar are also made from the same buy quilting fabric as well as the handmade tag on her rear. Jolene's head is a yo yo made from soft flannel with a hand drawn face. Her hair is made from a sweet butter yellow yarn. New hypoallergenic stuffing was used for her head, body, hands, and feet. She measures approximately 11.25" long lying down and about 9" tall when sitting. Jolene can sit on her own when she finds her balance.

Due to Jolene's hair piece, she is not intended for small children.

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. 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.
