I have been working on a new one. Smaller than my usual dolls. She has button jointed hips, hidden shank button shoulders and stitch jointed elbows and knees. First attempt at this and not sure if I like it. I do like it in this size doll. She is about 18" long with pixie petite arms and legs so proportion is purposefully off. If I do another this size or smaller, I think I will play with wood bead joints.
She has a gorgeous wig and that is my inspiration peice for this doll. I made the doll to fit the wig LOL. Never done that before but it worked. It is a gorgeous long, mohair wig in a golden blonde.
I have to sketch her face and then paint it but that is all, oh and stitch the wig permanently on. I finished her attire today. I made my first pair of felt shoes! Yeah : )
I love her color scheme and she will have her own vintage teddy bear. Oh and her head turns.
Now, I am ready to work on a baby next. It's been so long.
I hope to get my little ones face done in the next few days and will post pics, need a name also. As always, I am as pokey as a mouse but this is how I stay sane so it's okay with me except when I take almost a year off like I did before I made Kelly~Belle. Her pattern was marinating in my brain for so long.
I am dying to soft sculpt again. Sooooo that will be fun and a new challenge since it's been ages. I am still undecided, cotton, soft sculpt pattern, head pattern... I have an idea I want to try though and am thinking probably cotton knit.
I hope you all are doing well and dolls are keeping you sane or driving you insane, it's always one of the two LOL.
Wow!!!! Almost done with another dolly!!! Yaa!!!! Can't wait to see her!!! hugs
