"Bead Crochet Half Dolls"
Jenny King

Half dolls were created in the 1890s as useful items to adorn the home. They were used as pincushions, for whisks with a small broom attached to dust crumbs from tablecloths, etc. Jenny King has added bead crocheted skirts to these little dolls to transform them into a work of art.
