Del Rio, 2005 Kansas City Doll Fair, 2005 I’m a 5th generation Texan on both sides of my family, so the whole cowboy genre is dear to me. I adore the glamour of the 40’s and 50’s, so Del Rio was created. Although she got her start from a Tony Lama personalized purse found at a resale shop, the true inspiration came from the old Roy Rogers and Gene Autry movies I watched while making her. Dale Evans knew how to dress. The boots are my favorite part of Del Rio.
I had wanted to make a small pair of cowboy boots for a long
time and had fun doing
them. They are made of painted leather from a favorite old coat
of my dad’s. He wanted me to “make my dolls.” In
honor of him, I try to incorporate something of his in every piece.
Love you, Dad…and miss you.
