Ghost of Lizzie Borden Doll
There is a new item up for bid on eBay that has a few problems. No disrespect to the artist, whom I am sure was trying to do her best—but the creator of this Lizzie Borden doll apparently used a photo to help her detail the face that is not Lizzie Borden, but the now infamous “man-hands” Lizzie. It is a shame that she created it from this photo, especially since the artist is asking for a starting bid of $750 for her work.
She did a very good job of reproducing the face in the photo. Too bad the face is not that of Lizzie Borden. Lizzie’s nose is much more narrow and petite.
LIZZIE IS A ONE OF A KIND 43″ TALL LIMITED EDITION ARTIST DOLL. PORCELAIN HEAD, UPPER TORSO AND LOWER LIMBS. PIERCING GLASS EYES. CUSTOM CLOTHING INCLUDES ANTIQUE SHOES, UNDERDRESS AND HAT. SHE HOLDS AND ACTUAL VINTAGE MINIATURE AXE AND BLOODY DRESS. WOOD STAND IS INCLUDED.
PERMANENTLY COLORED AND SEALED.
ARTIST SIGNED WITH CERTIFICATE.
BLOOD CAN BE ADDED AT BUYER’S REQUEST.

Hi. I am the artist of this doll and I want to let you know that I did not use this picture to create her. I used the one that is seen on the front of the book about her. I used the photo you see for the period look of the clothing. I will be changing that art photograph this week so there will be no confusion. Thanks for noticing. Have a great day.
