Here is the shrunken 2021 style of my Katerina Kitty Cat doll (made by request). Not fully satisfied with the outcome. What comes to mind is to improve the head on my next attempt.  

Here's how she looked in a larger version (one of my favorites 💖). This is really how I want the mini version to look.  Back to a work-in-progress! 

Nana Platypus 2022 again:

Moving on from the accidental loss of certain detailed instructions for xlarge Nana (mentioned in the previous post), I carry on to finish a smaller version.  This version needs to be a size relative to my Jodi doll. Thus, the xlarge Nana version must shrink. The body details were not lost, only the head. So, I hope this first attempt works out. Notice the width difference in the head shapes in the photo. It has taken a  while to work this difference out. May 2022 is turning out to be quite a month. To labors of love 👧!

So I just made up a deadline for the award 🌟Doll of the Year 2022🌟.  It's May 8, '22. Three months have passed since that blog post mentioning this 'nomination'. It was intended for Nana Platypus from the start so it's not really a nomination. Here are some honorable mentions as well for 2022: O the Owl, Prince Wednesday, and Miso the Owl. Nana came out to be 14 inches. She wears spectacles and flashy earrings, and shows off her figure in a sporty green outfit.  Let's remember mommies and nanas this May 8!
