Many Primitive dolls at the turn of the 19th century were made with burlap. I like these rustic looking dolls because they remind me of the homesteads, farming, hard work and family life.
I put a silver button on her chest and waist for the shimmer and added crystals to her arms for something unique and a smooth contrast to the rough burlap.
Sewing Rionna was a challenge because I had to twice around the doll so it would hold and stay secure.
