This is a very shortened version of a traditional Yiddish tale about thrift. A virtue which I think is lacking in our society today, but one that is quickly returning.
This doll is a special order. Which is something I do. I enjoy the challenge of making a 3-D version of an illustration or character from a book or story. It just so happens that this is one of my favorite stories.
Joseph is amazing! And your detail is out of this world!!! He reminds me of Motel's husband in "Fiddler on the Roof". So cute!
