Dolls will last for many years with care. Yearly or so use a soft makeup brush to dust doll off. Any stray horse tail hair can be easily tucked back into place using needle nose pliers . Spots and dirt can be removed using mild dishsoap and water , dapping spot with light pressure and swirling motion using small ,soft paint brush. The lighter suede can be cleaned with white baby powder using a small brush also.

Custom and personalized orders
I only make dolls shown for sale in my shop. I can adjust fabric or bead color but I do not do custom orders any longer.
Please ask about memorial dolls where I use fabric from clothing of a loved one.
I can also use your horse tail from your horse for the dolls hair.
