About Tonner Dolls Sydney Chase and Tyler . . .

DOLL Sydney (face sculpt) is a friend of Tyler Wentworth. Sydney, Kit, Charlotte, Tyler and other face-sculpts have the same size of 16 inch vinyl body. This doll was new, with the name of "Check This Out" Sydney Chase. She wore a checkered slip-dress.

EYES: Her eyes are subtle blue-gray, a delicate mix of many transparent layers. She has many fine eyelashes (upper & lower) and feathered eyebrows using varied colors. Marsha of Hankie Couture has found that light-colored eyes photograph the best.

COLOR & PAINTING: Some computer screens may modify the color of the art. Some may make the image lighter or darker than it is. The doll has finer detail and more subtle coloring than a computer-jpeg-photo can show.

After removing all factory paint, I am using artist-grade alkyd-oil paints (in thin translucent glazes) with the addition of alkyd resin to make the paint surface become as flexible as the doll’s vinyl skin and to make it adhere well. I gently sand the surface before painting it for better adhesion.



Nancy Lee Moran's POLICY TO SHOW RESPECT for doll creators is as follows:
The dolls I use were factory painted. I would never repaint a doll that the artist had painted herself. I would not paint one in a limited edition of fewer than 300 (preferably 500 or more). I am NOT affiliated with any doll company, creator or manufacturer.
