...personal collection. This is a graphite of my actual doll. At 13, i realized i missed having one of these little treasures that every girl had. I bought her one rainy day and sat her proudly on my dresser. I still have her, though shes a bit grimey from sharing her with any little girls that visited me through the years... I felt she deserverd to be honoured.... Graphite 18x24 on bristol
