A Wood Doll always has a Wooden Head
The task of grouping dolls into categories can get confusing since a single doll may be made of many different materials. For example a doll can be 90% wood and only have a porcelain head: is it a wood doll or a porcelain doll? In the past, this type of doll could have been called a wood doll in one paragraph of an article and a porcelain doll in the next. Also, it is very common to find a doll described as a "cloth doll with a wood head" even by large public museums. Guidelines are needed and have been established to avoid such confusing situations. 

According to the doll category guidelines set by United Federation of Doll Clubs (UFDC), the type of doll is determined by the content of the doll's head. Thus, a wood doll always has a wooden head regardless of the types of materials used in the body construction.

What's new and where I need help?
6/17/2002

We have been dealing with a very sad, serious family situation. As a result, Jean has fallen behind on her own carving and keeping track of people who want to contribute photos to these pages. If you haven't heard from me, then please email me again to remind me. Things have been a bit confusing and I'm sure I didn't mean to overlook your offer.

Jean Lotz will concentrate on making her own dolls so minimal updates will be made to the Lotz Doll Pages in the near future.

WHAT'S NEW:
