Thank you Oleg, Irina, and friends!
My many, many thanks to
Oleg and
Irina of
Anatomical Doll, and to the various un-named people of
Our Doll Community for the beautiful gift of
Feodora, the Face 3 Body 3
Anatomical Doll. She was presented to me at the
Fin Fur and Feather doll meet in Haneyville, Pennslyvania.
Special thanks to
Mahtek for allowing me to ride with him to the meet and back. Special thanks to
Euchre who did all of my heavy lifting.
I was asked to read a scroll at the meeting on Friday, November 5, 2010. The scroll contained these words:
Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Let it be known to all in attendance of this annual meeting of doll folk, friends, and interested parties, That a special gift has been granted from the wonderful persons of
Oleg and
Irina from
Anatomical Doll and various other Un-named parties at
Our Doll Community.
Feodora is a Russian name meaning "Empress" or "Gift of God" depending on the translation. Only the most beautiful and worthy women bear this name.
On this day, one who has proven his devotion to the hobby and community over the years, shall be rewarded.
Now you can stop reading this, turn around, and say hello to your new doll,
Feodora!

At first I did not unerstand what it all meant, and I said that there was no name.
KA (
ourdoll1) said, "You are the one reading the scroll!" I said, "You have got to be kidding me!"
Incred used his power screwdriver to remove the wood screws from the cover panel of the doll crate. Once the cover panel was removed I could see the very beautiful
Feodora through the plastic inner cover. I mentioned that she had a Teddy Bear, and everyone laughed.
Snuggles had snuck in and was putting the moves on
Feodora!
Camp brought over the doll stand that
Incred and he and made. He told me that they were also giving me the stand!
We removed the plastic cover.
Incred,
KA and
Camp helped me get
Feodora out of her case and unto her doll stand. It was not until that moment that the truth of it all really struck home, and I gave
Feodora a big bear hug. Everyone applauded and took pictures.
Everyone had a chance to look her over. We had never seen an
Anatomical Doll in person, and all were amazed at the detail of
Oleg's sculpting and and
Irina's makeup. We took her out by the Black Bear where
Incred and
Camp put her to work modeling for us. We specifically wanted pictures by the Black Bear for
Oleg (
blackbear).
Incred took some pictures for the
CoverDoll magazine. He showed me some of his techniques for his outstanding photos.
Again I would like to thank
Oleg and
Irina for this beautiful doll. I also thank those who contributed toward her purchase, and
Incred and
Camp for picking her up and delivering her to the
Fin Fur and Feather Bed & Breakfast. Extra thanks to
Incred and
Camp for the gift of the doll stand. Without the help of my friends, I most likely would never have been able to get to the meet, or ever own such a beautiful doll. Special thanks to
KA and
Mrs C. You are wonderful beyond all for all that you have done.
I have a lot of pictures to edit. When post production is finished, I will load them into
Feodora's album.
