 Doll No. 404 July 2010 |
"Eolande" made for the 2010 Hoffman challenge. I used my "Under the Harvest Moon" pattern reduced to 90% to meet the size requirement for this challenge. I used a woven fabric for the doll. She has jointed elbows, knees, shoulders and hips, but has wire armature fixing her to a wooden base. Her hair is Tibetan lamb. |
 Doll No. 345 July, 2010 |
"Harmonie" made for the 2010 Hoffman Challenge. I used a design-in-progress for the body (one of my many unfinished projects), made from craft velour. She is in a fixed seated position. She has a polymer clay face that has been covered in a cotton knit fabric, then sewn to the stuffed head and painted in acrylics. She has wired fingers. Her skirt is made from petal shaped sections, alternating the challenge fabric with a coordinate. Her hair is made from an elasticized multi-fibered trim. Traveling until Fall, 2011. |
 Doll No. 394 June, 2010 |
"Freddie,
Waiting for the Parade" was made for Cloth Doll Artistry's (Ning Internet group) Americana Patriotic Doll
Challenge. Participants used the same pattern, designed by Sherrie Nordgren. My doll is
made from unbleached muslin. Creative Paperclay was applied to the head and upper
chest/back, then covered with a cotton knit fabric, gessoed and painted. He had blond wool
locks for hair. His clothing is removable. SOLD |
 Doll No. 380 Feb., 2010 |
Tiana was made for a doll club challenge. As a group, we selected two patterns from the now defunct The Cloth Doll magazine. Both were angel patterns, and we could use one or both of the patterns for our dolls. My doll was made using Patti Culea's pattern "Silvery Nights Angel" from the Winter 1995/'96 issue. She stands about 21 inches tall, and her clothing is not removable. Her hair is Tibetan lamb. I strayed from the instructions, in that I omitted the armature and added paperclay over the muslin head. Her head, upper body and arms are painted. You can see some of the other club members' August Challenge dolls HERE. She will be available for sale after our doll club meeting later this month (March). |
