Do yourself a favor and scroll down to read this from the beginning. Here is Jennifer after arriving at her new home with the Juro Jerry Mahoney I also fixed to show how small she is. The customer was elated with her transformation.

I re-carve her hands as well to make them less monkey like and add a small amount of detail.

I re-carved her face, repainted and re-wigged, made her new soft figure style legs and added "real" 1.25 blue eyes I bought from Mike Brose, after hollowing out much of her head and added a "spitter" to her mechanics.
Yes, I know her eyes are now off in the opposite direction they were before but it is the shape of her face that makes this happen. I chose to have her looking to her left rather than her right.

These are Jen's simple inner workings and I must say they were flawless in performance many years after she was made.

She looks like a victim of a severe car crash to me!

This is Jennifer as she looked when she arrived to get her makeover.

I'm thinking Foy Brown was making a monkey and when asked for a little girl by Tommy Atkins her converted her to what you see here.

Can you say UGLY boys and girls?

These are Tommy's figures, they seem to all be Foy Brown figures.
This blog is about the fate of the little girl "Jennifer" who is sitting in the front in the pleated gingham dress.

This is a picture of Tommy Atkins who I used to go see
perform at Lake George in upstate New York.

Mrs. Claus

So one of my hobbies is a Santa's Workshop dollhouse I started in 1981. Well this year my wife said she would like to have a Mrs. Claus and a kitchen room added to the Santa Workshop we have had all that time. So I scuplted a Mrs. Claus out of Sculpy clay.

 
Here Mrs. Clause is in front of the Workshop.

She kinda cute don't you think?

 
This is a reproduction I made of my Gramma's (grandmother's) own drop-leaf kitchen table. the sides fold down if you want them too.

 
While this is the reproduction of my Nana's (Great-grandmother's) 1954 Philco V Handle refrigerator

 
On the real one, whatever side of the handle you pulled down is the side of the fridge that opened. It was cool!

It does light up when plugged in. It's body is made of basswood. I made the freezer door, vegetable & fruit door and drawers and door shelves with a VAC-U-FORM.
