Woodlands! Woodlands! And, even more "Woodlands Are A Hunting" at the "The Dollie Fashion Show" series here on our
DOLLS Blog. They are out and about and hunting their way through the show.
First up is "Fly Fisherman:"
"Fly Fisherman" is a 22” fisherman with resin face and hands. He sports a full beard and mustache. He has bushy eyebrows and a mass of white hair that is barely controlled under his red flannel hat.
He is wearing green sweatpants that are gathered at the waist and ankles, a plaid flannel shirt with button decorations and blanket stitched decorated vest. He also has black boots with ties and is mounted on a wood stained base. He is carrying a fishing rod in his right hand and fishing carry basket is slung over his left shoulder.
Designer-Courech Creations
"Fly Fisherman" has been fly fishing for most of his life. His father taught him how to cast as a small boy - around 5 years of age. It took awhile for him to develop his fly casting skills, but he soon was among the very best.
"Fly Fisherman" doesn't really worry about whether or not he catches as fish. He just loves being out in the river and fly fishing. To him there is nothing better than conversing with nature, and there is no better way to do that than fly fishing.

"I Love The Woods, Rodman!" is a hunter and woodsman to the core. He'd much rather be out hunting, fishing, or just roaming around the frontier than inside the house any day.
He can't stand to be cooped up inside the house and gets very claustrophobic. In fact, he swears if he's inside too much he can feel the walls starting to close in.
Now we know that really can't be happening. But, to listen to "I Love The Woods, Rodman!" you'd think they really were moving on him. And, when that happens - well, let's just say that it's not the most pleasant to be around him at that time.
He gets cranky, and argumentative, and well - just plain annoying. So, no one minds when Rodman says he's going hunting. In fact, they encourage him to do so at all times!
"I Love The Woods, Rodman!" is a 15" cloth bodied doll with a porcelain head and porcelain arms and black boot feet.
He is wearing his favorite hunting outfit. His shirt is fringed and gathered at the neck and his pants are fringed on the bottom and gathered at the waist. The bottoms of his pants are cross tied with jute to keep the cold and snow out of his boots.
His hunting jacket, cape, and hat are made from upholstery velour for warmth. The jacket is fringed on the edge of the sleeves, shoulders, bottom of the jacket, and along the front edges. It has three buttons for closure and a belt that is wrapped around his waist and tied in a knot in the front.
His cape is lined and fringed along the edges. It is wrapped around his shoulders and fastened in the front with a DMC bow. He wears a lined frontiersman hat on his head that is tied with jute around the band.
"I Love The Woods, Rodman!" knows that he can be very unpleasant when he's been cooped up over a long winter and tries to get outside as much as he can but, the cold New England winter's force him inside sometimes. He really should make the most of being inside and just enjoy himself and his company.
Unfortunately, for Rodman, he just can't help himself. He wants to be out hunting and fishing and roaming the frontier.

Note: The porcelain head, hands, and feet that are pictured are the Abraham Lincoln Set from TDI Company. You can use any 4 1/2" porcelain head, hands, and feet set to make the doll as long as the head measures 4 1/2" from the bottom of the plate to the top of the head and the legs and the hands measure 4" each.
Next up hunting is "Grandpa Moose:"
"Grandpa Moose" is a 16” brushed felt stand alone moose with an embroidered face with brown moose eyes and large brushed felt antlers. He has a large painted snout and wire glasses.
He is wearing a long cotton gown that is gathered at his neck and has sleeves with cuffs. He is also wearing his favorite fringed flannel robe with braided tie, patch appliquéd decorated scarf, and wool hat.
Designer-Sandy’s Country Critters
Don't ask "Grandpa Moose" his age. He'll probably tell you he's "older than the hills!" Then he'll say he's over 100. You won't be able to get the truth out of him. I'm not sure he really knows anymore how old he is. Let's just say he's "up there!"
"Grandpa Moose" likes to spend all day in his lounging outfit. "What's the point of dressing?" he asks. I'd rather be comfortable and in my "comfy Jammie's." So, if you come to visit - be prepared for Grandpa Moose and his lounging attire.

"Marvelous Mike The Mountain Man" is a 22” mountain man to the core. He has a resin face and hands, and sports a full beard and mustache. He has white bushy eyebrows and a mass of white hair that is barely controlled underneath his fur boxed mountain hat.
He is wearing his warmest mountain man fringed brushed felt outfit. His brushed felt pantaloons are gathered at the waist and ankles and are fringed along the outer side seam. His long brushed felt shirt is fringed along the sleeve side seam and bottom hem edge. He has black boots with ties and fringe along the top.
"Marvelous Mike The Mountain Man" is carrying a painted wooden rifle, painted wooden pistol, painted wooden knife, ammunition pouch, and sack. He is standing upon a wooden base.
Designer-Courech Creations
"Marvelous Mike The Mountain Man" was born and bred in the hills of Virgina. He has never left and never intends to do so. Mountain climbing and hunting is in his blood and he loves it.
Marvelous Mike learned to hunt and shoot from his Dad when he was a young lad. Maybe 4 or 5. He can't quite remember. He just remembers how much he loved hunting in the Virgina mountains with his Dad. It was a special time for him and one he'll never forget. In fact, each year he leaves a wooden animal that he has carved somewhere in the mountains as a memorial tribute to his Dad. He knows his Dad has quite a collection by now.

"Moose Me Victorian!" really didn't want to have anything to do with the "Victoriana High Society Tea Club" but when his friend "Bearly Victorian, Ryan" invited him - well, how could he say no.
"Moose Me Victorian!" was a Victorian moose but he considered himself every bit the man's man. Hunting was in his blood and had been for generations. In fact, he excelled at marksmanship and had won the county title several years in a row.
But, his friend "Bearly Victorian, Ryan" had asked him and he was as loyal as they come and blood brothers with Ryan. So, how could he say no. He couldn't.
You see, "Bearly Victorian, Ryan" and his wife, "Bearly Victorian, Deb!" had decided to start their own "Victorian Animals Tea Society" for all their wonderful Victorian animal friends because they had been turned down for membership into the posh "Victoriana High Society Tea Club."
Their club would truly have an open membership and be accepting of all individuals and creatures. None of this "open to all", but really closed to animals rules.
So what if Ryan and Deb were bears. They were still Victorian to the core. In fact, their lineage was probably older than some of the snooty Victorians who turned down their membership application.
So, the "Victorian Animals Tea Society" was born and "Bearly Victorian, Ryan" asked his friend "Moose Me Victorian!" to join.
He also invited "Moose Me Victorian's" sister, "Moose Me A dance!" to join as well. His wife, "Bearly Victorian, Deb!" had asked him to so he did.
"Moose Me Victorian" knew that his sister, "Moose Me A Dance!" would be thrilled with the invitation. Why, she'd be ecstatic and be daydreaming of all the high society balls she would be attending. Not to mention all the wonderful ball gowns she'd have to buy.
Oh, yes! "Moose Me A Dance!" would be beside herself with anticipation.
"Moose Me Victorian!" wishes his sister, "Moose Me A Dance!" were as good at her marksmanship as she was on the dance floor. She could twirl and twirl and twirl and never loose her footing. She was graceful and every bit as elegant as she needed to be.
"Moose Me Victorian!" is a self standing moose doll with a square bottom and brushed felt body. He has black bead eyes and a black satin stitched nose. His mouth is embroidered with DMC embroidery floss and his ears and cheeks are blushed. His huge antlers sit regally upon his head and discourage any kind of confrontation. His gray lined hat also sits regally upon his head and matches his suit and vest perfectly.
He is wearing a flannel shirt which is gathered at the neck. He is also wearing a gray wool vest that matches his gray wool jacket and which is lined with the same fabric as his gray wool jacket. His vest is top stitched and fastened in front with a button.
His lace trimmed ascot also matches the lining of his gray wool vest and gray wool jacket.
He is wearing a lined gray wool jacket with a lined collar and lapels. His jacket is top stitched and fastens with a large gray button in the front.
"Moose Me Victorian!" knows fully well that he can walk and talk Victorian with the best of the Victorian gentleman. However, he much prefers the company of his hunting buddies and while he may be dancing on the dance floor his mind will be elsewhere.

"Francis The Bear" is hoping to change the image of big brown bears from "frightening" to "as gentle as they come!" He figures he can do this by teaching the boys how to fish. After all what is more relaxing than spending a day on the edge of a lake - just fishing. He may be a big brown bear, but he really is as "gentle" as they come.
