This  is UNIQUE  PAIR of  dolls  that were each individually hand made  years ago by Senora Diaz, a Mexican woman who lived in the remote village of Chacala .Using her daughters' outgrown clothing, she carefully sewed and decorated her dolls with jewelry and hair ornaments. Her   grandson carried   each   group of dolls  by   donkey across the mountains  to sell them  to our collector,who lived  in   Mexico.  

 -The Senor doll   his  Senor, and a matched pair would make a perfect wedding gift or special present for anyone.

EACH has personality and character!  Wonderfully dressed in handmade clothes.

The body is cotton stuffed, jointed great expressive  face, cotton with embroidered features. 

 Because each doll was the unique creation of Senora Diaz, no doll is exactly alike.  However, each doll is made from a similar pattern and each doll is intrically embroidered with the same large, animated blue eyes.  In order to collect the dolls, years  ago  I  had  to  await the arrival of Miguel, the dollmaker's nephew who arrives at my home near Puerto Villarta with the dolls strapped on the back of his burro.  He  made a five hour journey across the mountains from Chacala, a village with no electricity or roads.  The income from the dolls gave  Senora Diaz money for corn and beans to feed her family, and for the materials for more dolls.  

Embroidered features and is stuffed with  clothes and  fiber in a lovely folk art style.
