All cloth doll makers have a favorite stuffing and
mine is Poly-fil® made by the Fairfield Company. In 2005,
the Fairfield Company issued a “Through the Looking Glass
Doll Challenge” to all cloth doll makers to create a doll
that was to be a self-portrait of how we see ourselves. My entry
was created to reflect my fantasy alter ego versus my reality.
The fantasy is leisurely eating chocolates while reclining on
a chaise lounge dressed in a sexy little outfit. The reality is
fuzzy slippers, curlers and a box of doughnuts! “My Alter
Ego” was awarded the Grand Prize.
