Heavy As A Rock...

 
In one of our kids story books there is a sweet story about Elizabeti and her rock doll named Eva whom she loves very, very much. Kayla recently had the idea of making her own rock doll only with the added touch of  a face...  The dolly was a hit and right away her sisters each wanted one as well.  Kayla set about making one for Libby and I (Abby) thought it was such a cool idea that I spent an afternoon out in the sunshine making Kelly's dolly; I've always wanted to try sculpting. :)
At first, the girls left them plain clay with charcoal eyes. The skin tone was rather ghastly...

So, they decided to paint their faces (they added yarn hair later)...
Kayla made the two dolls on the left, and I made the doll on the right for Kelly. 

Kayla with Kelly's doll, and her own; Libby holding her baby... And yes, those babies give new meaning to the phrase, "heavy as a rock"...
