New photographs and updates

William has heard back from his enquiry about the possible article.  He has been told: "the Australian National Library’s database “Trove” is in error in this instance. Our university does not, in fact, hold The Antiques Journal at all."
But a big thank you to William for following it up.

As yet, I have not heard back from the NIADA...I hope I will.

BUT it's not all disappointing news because Sarah's brother Tren has very kindly photographed four dolls she made for his family. They are so beautiful. It is fascinating to see other examples of her work, some of which I vaguely remember and others are a surprise. Sarah had a particular face style which doesn't appear to have varied much between her dolls - but it is like her signature; it makes her dolls stand out from others and would be easily recognisable if any surfaced. Her faces are, for me, definitely reminiscent of the era in which she developed a special interest in dolls. I will talk about Sarah's college years another time.
Here are the delightful dolls in Tren's collection:

"Ooops!" I hear you say; she's forgotten to include the fourth photo.
The fourth doll leads me onto another avenue of Sarah's dollmaking career...
