Jill

Jill is a character doll for collectors age 8 and up. She is 22" tall. Jill will be part of an art gallery exhibit scheduled for March 1 - April 30, 2013. She can be purchased during or after the exhibit.

How Jill was made
Jill's body is made in the MakerDoll Medium Size, from 100% organic, (“natural”) cotton fabric, grown and woven in the USA. Her arm joints are secured with cotton embroidery thread. Her tank top, pants, scarf and swing coat are handmade in a MakerDoll original design, from repurposed fabrics. Her sparkly coat closure is an earring from her vintage costume jewelry collection. Jill’s facial features are hand painted with professional grade acrylic paints. Her hair is made of twisted yarn, fashioned into her current hairdo, hand-sewn onto her head with cotton embroidery thread.

About Jill
Jill is an artist, maker and writer. She learned how to sew at age ten, and made most of her own clothes as a teenager and young adult. Now, 50 years after first learning to sew, she still makes most of her own clothes, but from repurposed or thrifted materials (when she’s not making Maker Dolls and their accessories). Jill wears big eyeglasses so she can see what she’s doing when she’s sewing, doing art, or writing.
