I've been mulling the idea over for months on how to make one of these dolls, in the end I just dived in... feet hands and head first....I used what I had... modelling clay for heads arms and legs....acrylic paints, bits of string and material and stuffing for the body and the hair is a wooping great flower I crocheted last summer and didn't know what to do with it... So of course I plonked it on her head....amazing never seen before hair...well it's working for me...
.... obviously as these dolls are taking shape a little story is unfolding.... which I will tell you when these Mademoiselles are properly dressed....
I know it's late but do pop over to Sunday Sketches.....
