Doll:Bonnie

Beginning in the 1950s, American doll artist Ellery Thorpe specialized in crafting her dolls of porcelain bisque, and she concentrated her talents on producing representations of American children, each with an individualized face that Thorpe modeled in clay using only her hands and one stick made of orange wood. Thorpe dressed her own dolls, part of the doll-making process she particularly liked, and fashioned doll clothing for children of the present day and of bygone eras.
