Oh, David, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, and my heart goes out to you and your mother. While I don't know of anyone who does this, may I suggest that you contact the head of the art department at your local school or university? They may employ someone who would be able to help you, or they might know of someone who could make this for you. Best of luck.

You may have better luck finding a doll maker that makes custom dolls. Be prepared to spend some money though. A custom doll artisan can create to your exact specifications including an angel for a tree top. Custom dolls take a lot of time to build and would be very unlikely to be done by this holiday season.

Another option is a scanned photo for the face on a fabric doll. This can become very complicated with a sculpted face or just left more flat.

You may also try local doll shops or craft fairs and see if they can direct you to a source.
Good luck. :)

To get this accomplished in time for this year I would do as suggested here and go local. Your local fabric shops may very well know someone or employ someone on their staff that can make dolls. They may even be able to do the face. If not try your local art clubs. You may be suprised at the talent quitely abiding in your neighborhood. It may take some fancy talkin' to get it done on time but it's worth a shot.

I do know someone that may be able to paint a likeness of her, and I could help make the rest of the angel.
PM me and we'll talk.
