ANOTHER PAPER DOLL

Yet another swap.

Same doll base but a different bit of dress.


Using a gorgeous piece of gray, blue Dupioni silk

I hand stitched an outer skirt

the bodice, underskirt and sleeves
were fashioned from a lovely piece of lace.

peeking out I thought some netting in deep pink would be fun

to match the big bow on the back of her skirt.

Add some doo dads,
glitz
and a stamped out birdcage...

mohair for her wig,
and a little 'hitch hiker' sitting on her skirt

and we are good to go.

This time, however, for her base to keep her standing

I drilled a hole in a painted,
one inch wooden block and inserted a dowel.

I think I just can't get enough of these and may have to make some more

and MAYBE,
just maybe,

I might be able to part with one and put her

up on Etsy.
maybe.

Oh, and by the way.......a friend of Rattlesnake Number One

visited the
exact
same
spot

the very next day.

Could be there was a convention...

but I did not get the memo.

Good afternoon from the UK. I just wanted to say how much I admire your talent. Your doll is amazing. Do you have a tutorial on how to make them. We have very few craft magazines over here, and what there are, are mostly X-stitch, so not much good to those of us who would like to try something a bit 'different' Blessings

Thank you all for your lovely notes.
Lesley, I don't have a tutorial I'm afraid.....but it's certainly something to ponder. Perhaps I can interview for a cameraman and soundman to help make a little video!! Le Chat is not up for the job I'm afraid. :) I will let you know if such a thing ever takes place.

Rella,
What a beautiful paper doll. Thanks so much for visiting my other blog - The Secret Jar. You are probably the first. I rather like this blog also. I enjoy the darker art as much as the Marie Antoinette art. Thanks Again.
