So far I have two of them finished...I want to finish two more. The pattern will show different ways to "face" the dolls--drawing, embroidery, painting, button eyes, etc. I'll include a simple line drawing for one style of face, (not the ones here) and suggestions for ways to make hair.
Alice is my answer to our MAIDA challenge doll--making one type of doll out of another type of material. But since I do that half the time with half the dolls I make anyway, I figured I'd just jostle things around a little and make an Alice that was NOT the stereotypical blue-eyed blonde.
This next one is not yet named. She's simple, wears a natural linen dress with a gray-blue embroidery, and I love her! I haven't thought of a name for her, so if you have a suggestion, please leave it in the comments!
So...here's hoping that all goes well with our electrical work, that the dog doesn't encounter any more 5 a.m. skunks (long smelly story), and that I get two more dolls finished tomorrow.
Cheers, y'all!
These are nice. I like their clothes a lot. the cat is really cute. the other doll is pretty too. I like her dress too. the rag dolls are coming along good. It is good you are giving choices in finishes the faces in your pattern. I think that is the hardest part in deciding what kind of a face to put on these dolls.
ReplyDeleteAh, rag dolls...so fun and few rules! I also love doll #2. Her linen dress is so special with the embroidery.
ReplyDeleteI'm either forgetting to hit the post button or my comments are going to a spam folder. :-) These are great. I like the button eyed doll with thelinen dress a lot.
