Jahanara Begum arrived home today after traveling for more than a year. She toured various doll expos and had so many great adventures.
Jahanara Begum(Princess jahanara) was made for the Hoffman Challenge of 2009.
Jahanara Begum was the favorite daughter of Shah Jahan, Emperor of India from 1627 to 1658 and the builder of the famous Taj Mahal.
I chose to make an Indian doll for the 2009 Hoffman Challenge, since the challenge fabric 'Earth' had paisley motif on it. Paisley originated in India and spread to Scotland when the British soldiers brought home cashmere shawls.
