My mom has fond memories of a doll her granny had made for her back in the 50's or early 60's. Granny was very poor, so this was all stuff she could have done cheaply (and she was southern, if that helps, lol). The doll was a clown, I'm not sure how the head was made, but the arms and legs were plain wire, like maybe coat hanger gauge, with scraps of fabric or bits of old clothes sort of 'skewered' on, to make the clown 'clothes'. I've no idea what the body was made out of. Granny's long gone now, and I'd love to surprise my mom with a recreation if possible. Any answers?
