Wonderful Old Folk Art Topsy Turvy Doll with Embroidered Face and Calico Dress carved hand with links pencil on ruled paperFound in Southern Maine this week, and no way could I resist her them! Wonderfully hand embroideried wide eyed expressions on both faces, with complementary red and cream calico prints to their great dresses. I find topsy turvy dolls quite interesting things, often but not always with one "white" side and one "black" here with the two sides pretty much exact mirrors of one another, with just a minor shift in color of fabric and thread. 9 1 8" head to
