Nun Dolls

[Chiquitunga]

one more post! I just noticed the PCC and PCPA are pictured on her site too :clap:

 

 

I like that PCC habit in grey! also she seems to have gotten the detail down that their habits are actually very wide and shaped as a cross, and there's a lot of material the cord holds in .. I learned that from a friend who was a PCC  :like:

[Chiquitunga]

Yay!!!   :nun2:

 

 

 

 

 

Really simple, but cute and cuddly :j I think I would add a smile myself.. :proud:  I don't think she makes them anymore though, her etsy link doesn't work, http://crunchycatholicmomma.blogspot.com/search/label/My%20Little%20Saint%20Dolls  one could ask her though! :like:

You're welcome! This was fun! I think I want to get one of those Kelly dolls now for my niece! :heart:  You saw my last two posts on the first page too, right? with the scans and Kellys :nun3:

I'll admit, the felt ones are a little scary :unsure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQh9DEOQ6mc&feature=player_detailpage#t=149  :smile4:

If I ever get a Carmelite one, I'd like to get one like this

 

 

 

 

made by the Carmelites in Ã‰cija, Spain - http://carmelitasecija.es.tl/  this is one of the most real to life ones I've seen. she has the Day Veil and outer veil (Communion, Parlor or Great Veil) which both French and Spanish Discalced Carmelites have always had, including St. Therese (though it's not visible in many of the photos of her, it's there, look closely at all of them and the other Sisters) it's usually left out on Carmelite nun dolls, which is understandable, they're small. anyway, I love the attention to detail on these and they sell them :clap: http://carmelitasecija.es.tl/PEDIDOS.htm

 

 

p.s. one of the photos where you can see the Day Veil of St. Therese, pulled out a bit more than the Spanish nuns do. I never noticed this until someone pointed it out to me. I used to think the French Carmels must wear the large outer one all the time (like the Community of St. John for instance, or Poor Clares, etc) It's worn for pictures and other times like Mass, but otherwise they just wear the Day Veil which is tucked under the scapular most of the time.

 

 

 

btw, this site is awe.some - http://www.archives-carmel-lisieux.fr/carmel/

My vocalist teacher literally has a collection of these things he's gotten over the years. Dominicans, Franciscans, Carmelites, you name them, he's got them.

I want to thank everyone for posting ideas etc!!! would it be weird if I said, that the Blessings doll faces kinda creep me out??! Usually I don't have any sensitivities..but something about their face is different! I love all the doll images that have be posted here!! ;)

I've never liked the Blessing dolls' faces either.. they look strange.. My favorite so far (of the type of doll/faces) are these made by the Rockford PCCs. I'm trying to figure out what specific doll this is. Wish I had a bigger picture. They look like Kellys, but then I've seen them in person and am pretty sure they are bigger than 5"  I might seriously just ask them :)
