Jill's dolls are unique in their character portrayals. Although porcelain is her medium, her dolls are highly individualized sculpts. Expressions match the moment portrayed, and the faces and bodies reflect the life of their owner. Miss Haversham is not your average elderly lady and all types of decay are beautifully shown through the doll's body, face, hair and costuming. This is a complete creation, not an elderly person dressed to resemble a character.
