Customized handmade dolls also can be commissioned for birthdays and other special events. Prices for the belles featured on the Little Lady Belles Facebook page here range from $50 to $75. (Customized orders are priced based on design and materials.)
The belles design and fabrication were developed by Abigail Kokai and Scribble Art Studio owner Carrie Christian, both graduates of the Savannah College of Art and Design.
You can meet the dolls in person at the Springtime in Paris: Art & Fashion Show, a kids’ art & fashion show presented by Scribble Art Studio & Sara Jane’s Children’s Boutique. All proceeds of the show will help to start-up Scribble’s charitable program Scribble On Wheels, a program that works with local hospitals in an effort to bring art to every little artist. The goal of Scribble on Wheels is to work with pediatric patients in groups or one-on-one sessions, providing fun, interesting art projects that provide a nurturing and inspirational creative experience to every child,
