She was an exceptional artist and her book is an inspiration for so many doll makers wanting to venture into paper-clay and paper mache doll making. I haven't had a chance to make the Queen Elizabeth Doll or Millners Models Adelaide yet but I will. Thanks so much for commenting.

The dolls are faceless so they do not draw any particular spirit, ie they should never look like anyone or be made with someones stuff. they also traditionally do not have feet so they cant walk about at night.
