Am I an Immigrant Doll?

Today I created my own personal blog. This is my first post. In class we are learning about immigration. In art we made immigrant dolls. The dolls are made of paper mache. The dolls are dressed in the best immigrant clothing we could make. The dolls clothes are made of cloth that is stapled together badly. Here is a picture of the doll I made.

Sophia Doll

My immigrant’s name is Jane Lily McRea. She came from Scotland. It was very fun to make the dolls. The hardest part about making this doll was making the clothing and painting  the face on the doll. I messed up once and I had to get the skin color paint and repaint her face. Braiding the yarn to make it look like hair was also hard. When I finished the doll I was so happy!
