This is Annie.   She is a little girl from about 1910.   I took this picture in 1999, and it shows her wardrobe as of then.  Since then I've made her a dotted swiss pinafore.   She is wearing her blue pajamas made of thin corded cotton.   Her blue dress is muslin, and her white dress is nainsook.  I made her shoes of leather.   I had a catastrophe when I made her.   I used some cheap Japanese watercolors on her, and when I sprayed on fixative, they ran.   I had to scrape everything off down to the bare wood and do her over again.   After that, I never used anything but Grumbacher's watercolors. Emily is made from the pattern for a wooden doll in Wish Booklet #2.  Her clothes are too.  My favorite dress in that book is the plain dress.  Her bonnet is straw.   She is all wood with mortise and tenon joints, painted with watercolors and sprayed with fixative.   The paint is thin, so the grain of the pine shows through, and she looks like she has freckles, which is nice. I made quite a few plain little wooden dolls with elastic joints in the 1980's.   They are all wood and about 7 inches tall.   Most of them were made from pine, but his one is made of poplar, so I named her Poppy.   Her bonnet was made by Regina Steele.   She had my name for a Secret Santa exchange.    She has a web site too with her wooden dolls.   Here it is:   Regina Steele's dolls In the years before 1987, when I stopped making dolls, I took my dolls to craft and doll shows and sold them.   I was mostly making the little seven inch dolls like Poppy, Petronella's (on the first page of my web site), some lady dolls and babies.  I decided to start making babies to see if I could do those curvy little legs.   I didn't paint their skin, just their features, and made them mohair wigs.   They are jointed with elastic.   Most of them were made from pine, but I made several from mahogany like this one.   She is four inches tall and wears a dress, slip, diaper and hand knitted booties.
