Katherine Swain of Trucksville experiences this all the fime as she creates authentic: reproductions of antique dolls. Katherine, who has been in the doll reproduction business for 10 years, pours the molds herself for the doll heads, fires it, and paints in all the features. Although she pur- chases bodies which are pre-poured, she sands, paints and sprays them herself. If the doll requires a leather body, Katherine makes the entire body herself. The dolls’ hair is another matter. Depending on the type of hair on the original doll, Katherine may use mohair or real hair. For hard to match shades, she occasionally goes to synthetic material. After creating the wig, the hair is steamed into a style, then allowed to dry. For corkscrew curls, which adorn the heads of many of her ‘babies’, she wraps the hair around straws to form the curls. All the dresses are hand-made. Many are matched from the origi- nal doll, although Katherine does create her own patterns. For doll hats, she tears apart old hats and creations. Katherine sells doll clothing, bodies and kits as well as the finished product. Her prices range from $55 for a baby doll kit to $700. Doll outfits range from $25 to $200, depending on the type of outfit desired. These dolls appeal to collector’s who could pay anywhere from $600 to $3,500 for the original. Kather- ine’s aim is to create an authentic reproduction as close as possible to the original. In completing her dolls, Katherine maintains the almost obsolete inser- tion of rocking mechanisms which give the dolls sleeper eyes. Katherine reproduces only rare antique dolls. She finds it a chal- lenge and collects a lot of books and old-fashioned pictures to help create just the right look. Katherine currenlty has distribu- tors in Allentown and Luzerne and, for the Christmas season,will dis- play her dolls at the Collector’s Dumpy the Pumpkin’ £) We'll custom inscribe your cake Corner in Luzerne. An art graduate from the Univer- sity of New Mexico, Katherine is originally from Center Moriches on Long Island. She became interested in doll reproduction when she and a friend who owned a ceramic studio attended seminars on doll making. When she is not busy with her doll making, Katherine enjoys spending time with her family - her son, Justin and her husband, Dennis. Dennis, who loves to ski, and coached a soccer team this year, is house affiliate. Justin, a fourth grader at Westmoreland Elemen- tary School, plays soccer, baseball, football and skiis. During her free moments, Kather- ine enjoys sewing in her home, doing needlepoint, quilting and painting. at Natijonal Ellen Ashkenazy Ufberg, of Dallas, will discuss the fate of the American Jewish family in a panel presentation moderated by Marci- arose on Wednesday, Oct. 26, 7:30 p.m. at the National Museum of American Jewish History on Inde- pendence Mall in Philadelphia.
