In 1938, the comic artist H.T. Webster created a character by the name of Caspar Milquetoast. The term "milquetoast" came to refer to a person who is timid, meek and unassertive. Milquedoll has therefore come to hold a personal significance to the artist, whose dolls often exhibit a tragic quality as well as a symbolic connection to milk as a pure and primarily feminine production.Each doll is distinct and holistic in its design, and is produced in limited qualities. The dolls are sculpted and individually cast from hand-pigmented opaque and translucent resin, and are later painted and adorned with a variety of fabrics, fibers, wood pieces, metals, found objects, and Swarovski crystals. Faceups are colored using a combination of dry pastels and an acrylic/enamel airbrushing technique. Dyed fibers used to craft the wigs include mohair, merino wool, and tussah silk.
