More Photos of Taylee Joyce

Taylee is settling in and getting to know her sisters. She decided on a middle name for herself--Joyce after the talented artist who painted her. So her full name is: Taylee Joyce. 

I had a little photo shoot with her. Joyce Mathews did an amazing job with this little gal. Joyce paints the most expressive, beautiful eyes. Here are a few photos:




Here is a photo comparing Taylee with her #2 sculpt sisters. I love comparing dolls as each artist has their own painting style, and the dolls are completely unique. In this photo the girls are: Lauryn (painting by Dianna Effner), Taylee (painted by Joyce Mathews), and Jade (painted by Lana Dobbs).

Taylee is a 13" Little Darling sculpted by Dianna Effner and painted by Joyce Mathews.

First Look at Taylee

I am elated to get this beautiful doll from Joyce Mathews. I had asked Joyce to paint me a girl that looked like a doll she had auctioned off on eBay. She had a name, but I always call her Easter Girl, as she sold on eBay right before Easter. Here is what she looked like:

Taylee is who she painted for me. I just love her! I couldn't wait for a formal photo shoot, so I took this photo with my phone camera. Joyce shaded the little indentation right below her mouth. It gives her such personality. Her skin wash is very warm. She looks more sun kissed than most of my other girls. And her eyes...wow! Joyce's talents are amazing!

Brooke Marie Loves Minnie

My family and I love visiting Disney Land. My daughters are obsessed with Elsa and Ariel. So I wanted to have an outfit representing Disney for my Little Darlings. Trish Breisch made a wonderful Minnie outfit. I love all of the matching buttons. They are even polkadot to match Minnie's dress.
