 Milena Doll by Deanna Hogan I used my "Averill" pattern to create the doll, but I wanted the doll's costume to have an ethnic flavor. I searched online for photos of costumes from several countries: Ukraine, Armenia, Russia, Tibet, etc. |

 Zalika Doll by Jo-Mae Blagg Maris An original design, Zalika's inspiration came from an abstract African doll made of wood and dressed in beads. The abstract form of the African doll provided an opportunity to feature the large print of the Challenge fabric, and to use bead embellishments to highlight the beading in the fabric's print. Jo-Mae used beads for hair and buttons for eyes to bring a primitive quality to the needle sculpted face. Zalika has a lot of ladder stitched seams from the process of creating her shape during stuffing and needle sculpting. |
