Wooden Dolls from Poland

These six-inch tall wooden dolls were made in Poland in the 1970s.

Their bodies, arms and legs are made of wood. They can be posed and stand on their own.



I like the hand-painted expressions with eyes looking to the side and long hand-painted eyelashes.

Their soft hair wigs are glued on, and their costumes are cotton material with braid trim.

If you need help with sewing techniques for dolls and costumes I recommend consulting my book.
