RØNNAUG PETTERSSEN - the artist & her dolls

         
     
THE DOLLS
The photos shown in this section are just a small sampling of dolls and doll types Rønnaug Petterssen created over her nearly 40 year career. She in fact created dolls that people now do not know she made. The production has a distinct evolution over the years and this will be described in the book and shown in photographs.
