Deanna: Airwoman, Green Activist, Alternative Energy Proponent


Deanna is a collector doll for ages 8 and up. She is 18" tall.

Meet Deanna. She’s done so many interesting things throughout her life, she needs to write a best seller! Deanna fell in love with flying as a little girl, when her parents took her to a local airport to watch the planes doing takeoffs and landings. She earned her wings as soon as she could, and spent most of her career flying almost every plane imaginable. She logged thousands of hours and became an expert flying instructor. After her last gig as a bush pilot in Alaska, she hung up her wings and immediately immersed herself in the Green movement. She’s a strong advocate of  recycle – reuse – repurpose, and she also supports the use of alternative energy. 

How Deanna was made 
Deanna’s body is made in the MakerDoll Medium Size, from 100% organic, undyed (“natural”) cotton fabric, grown and woven in the USA. Her arm joints are secured with vintage blue buttons and cotton embroidery thread. Her clothes are handmade from repurposed baby clothing. She’s wearing a handmade, MakerDoll design cotton stretch t-shirt and jacket, which has a vintage “I’d Rather Be Flying” patch on the back and features gold toned vintage nautical buttons on the front. Her jeans are repurposed from toddler size cotton denim, and her shoes are made from repurposed cotton and felt to conjure up Red Keds tennies. Her facial features are handpainted with Staedtler Karat Aquarelle watercolor pencils. Her hair is made of furry yarn, hand-sewn onto her head.

Deanna can be purchased at MakerDolls.Etsy.com
