Mel-vin- The Hayloft was the sight for the be expensive VS0 u By CHERIE HUBER Collecting dolls can be a very expensive hobby. Or you can use some ideas from Wanda Clayton and her daughter Janet Plewe and have a very rewarding hobby w spending a lot of money. itli-o- MOST OF the dolls in their collections have come from thrift stores or garage sales. It isn't often that they pay more than S2 for a doll. Then they clean, refurbish and redress the dolls. They collect dolls just because they like them themselves. Janet also wants her grandchildren to have the oppoi-tunilto play with some of the nice dolls of the past. First of all. you have to decide if you like the doll." says Janet. "If you really think a doll is special it is vvorthw hile to put all the work that is necessary into it. Some of the y more cheaply made dolls just aren't worth the effort to fix them up." BETTER DOLES have the makers name on the top portion of the back or on the back of the head. The date will give you an idea of the age of the doll. Look for dolls with names like Fischer Price. Horseman and others. The first treatment every new doll gets is a hath and shampoo followed by a cream rinse for its hair. For some reason, almost every doll you find has hair that sticks straight out, but that can be says Wanda. Then the hair is combed out and perhaps blow dried with a very low heat setting. Dolls' hair melts easily. It can he pinned in place or set on rollers. Damp hair set on rollers may take several days to dry. A little stocking cap made out of a sock also w ill hold the hair in place and tame it. EYES ARE a critical part of the well-know- ," COLLECTING DOLLS DOES not have to be expensive, as these dolls belonging to Wanda Clayton and daughter Janet Plewe show. The doll collectors pass on tips of what to look for and avoid in dolls. doll. Here is where you can tell a well made doll from a cheap one. Check to see how the eyes fit into the head and the quality of the glass. Eyes that have dulled from too many baths with the doll's previous owner can be cleared with lemon juice many times. A few drops are placed in each eye and after a few minutes a cotton swab is used to clean the eyes. Eyes can also he replaced. Worn eyelashes can be replaced by using small sections of false eyelashes. After they are glued in place they can be trimmed to size. MANY CHILDREN seem to like to write on dolls with ballpoint pen. This can be difficult to remove. Over a long period of time, sunlight will fade the marks. Sometimes a cotton swab dipped in bleach will also work. Plastic and rubber dolls absorb pigments well so a little rouge can be rubbed into their cheeks and lips to brighten the color. Once a doll is cleaned and repaired it can be redressed. Sometimes the original clothes can be cleaned and reused. Other times the clothes can be used as a pattern tor new clothes. Many commercial patterns for doll clothes are also available. COMPOSTHON-TYP- E dolls are older and therefore relatively more, valuable than the rubber and plastic ones. A doll that is truly old should probably he left in its originto preserve its value. However there arc plenty of dolls lor sale that would be challenging to 11 x up. This year Mrs. Clayton is also helping her ward with a project to recondition dolls for children to buy for Christmas gifts. al condition |
