Isabel

Welcome to the World of Carole Bowling Dolls.

Our new doll, "Isabel", is a fine art collectible designed and personally hand made by Carole Bowling, an artist member of the National Institute of American Doll Artists.

Herself an admirer and collector of Carole's dolls, Marie Osmond commissioned Carole to create "Isabel" in a limited edition of 10, to commemorate Marie's 10th Anniversary.

"Isabel' is modeled after a real child and painted with the special attention to detail that is the hallmark of all Carole's dolls. She has a luxurious human hair wig. Her clothing is a miniature of today's sophisticated fashions for children and constructed of the finest fabric and lace. The socks are hand knitted and the shoes are imported from Germany.

The special translucent quality of Resin is immediately apparent in the faces of Carole's creations. Your doll should be treated with reasonable care in order to ensure that it will remain a treasured heirloom. Resin is durable but as with all inflexible materials, is not unbreakable and should be handled gently. The head and limbs should be wrapped in transit. Dolls of any material should never be displayed in direct sunlight or subjected to extremes of temperature. Your doll will continue to look her best with a light feather dusting. Your doll is not a toy and is unsuitable for children.

"Isabel" is marked on the back with her edition number. Both Carole and Marie have signed the entire edition.

Special thanks to Debi Cline, who sent me all these wonderful photos as well as a scan of the certificate!!
