She's my fave!

I think she's my favorite doll yet! The dress may be one color but there are so many  details embroidered into the felt to create dimension and texture to the dress. The neutral palette in her garment is very becoming with her skin and hair tones. Her gold collar adds the perfect amount of sparkle!

Working in Stages

Now that I've figured out the design of my dolls I'm going to work on them in stages. I spent the last few days constructing the bodies of 11 dolls and then painted the faces, shoes, socks & bloomers. I experimented with colored pencils on the faces and I really like the more muted tones. Next will be hair and clothing. I've got to get rid of all those (pipe cleaner) Mohawks.

I'm crazy about details!

Isn't she precious! All her clothes are custom made. I had so much fun with all the details in her coat. I added some fur around her hood to frame her face, then 3 pleats on the back of the coat and 2 tiny pockets. She also has the tiniest pair of jeans on with laced up boots to match her coat.
