Each Charlie Clown is individually made by me and even though I worked from my pattern, my dolls always seem to take on a different expression when I paint their faces :D  Two look happy, one looks exasperated and the last one went pirate LOL.

I painted her with acrylic paints and stained her with Walnut Ink. Her jumper is cotton and her little sweater is made from an antique lace fabric.
Ollie is designed and handcrafted by me. Signed and dated. This listing is for the finished doll.

PATTERN INFO: I named her Ollie because she is made from my Mr. Ollie pattern with body painted a muted white. Same coat pattern and jumper as Mr. Ollie. The differences are I didn't add the shoes and I cut the coat lapels off more rounded rather than square. I also eliminated the scarf. I painted the nose on rather than adding a sewn-on nose. I painted her eyes more in the lines of Bunny Boo Hiss.
