I bought this kit from Gail Wilson Designs to make a 3 inch Izannah Walker style doll. The kit says to make 3 and pick the best one- we kept them all, of course, even the one with the lopsided head! I was nervous about painting the faces, but the directions were excellent at leading me through the process! The pictures below show the dolls being made.
