>>10877471Very interesting. They seem to be very rare and go for well over $1,000 on eBay. Despite their rarity, they seem to be fairly easy to make. The head is a wooden ball, the dress is a cloth covered cardboard cone. The body is felt with a wire armature inside.
Something I noticed is that the doll in
>>10877472 is slightly different than the one in my pic. The head is more square and is made of shaped felt rather than a wooden ball. She also has hands with fingers instead of felt mitten hands. She also has real defined feet with large strap sandals instead of X-strap sandals with some toe nail polish painted on the sandal edges to indicate toes. The face paint is totally different too.
Based on that picture of Lada Draskovic surrounded by her dolls, I'm gessing that the doll in
>>10877472 is actually a bootleg of a Sweetnik. That, or Draskovic made some changes to the the dolls over time.
