forth dolly


This is my forth doll my cousin wanted me to show her how to make a doll so she went and bought all the materials for her doll and I liked them so much that I used her left overs to make one of my own and this is her the hair is made of lace and her make up is in yellows and greens I love her wrist gloves and the beaded flower on her hat

So this is the third art doll I made she is a flapper by now I felt I was getting really good at the hands that are by for the hardest part of the doll she is wearing a scull cap made of lace and small beads I spent four hours just beading that little hat she is one of my personal favorites

My Second art doll

This is the second art doll I ever made the first head I made I did not like so I cut it off and started over sometimes I think I'm to picky her name is Anna Marie Bell she is made of cloth and hand stitched has lots of Little embellishments I spent about 7 hours on her and she was worth every min. spent


My Frist doll I ever made, She kinda has fat arms but they can't all be perfect I think it is the little imperfections that I like the most about art dolls I knew when I made her this was a hobby I had to take up and I have totally been obbsesed. Her body I made by just drawing a simple pattern on muslim hand sawing it then turning it inside out and stuffing her face was stamped and painted with gel pens & hair of yarn the clothing is made from ribbon all sizes and the tu tu is of tulle ribbon her shoes are just painted on she was very simple
