Experiments

Last night at our doll club UFO night I decided to experiment with heads. I took a profile drawing from the anatomy for artists book that I have and I reduced it so it was more 'doll size'.

Then I sliced it in half, made some modifications, and sewed it up. It always amazes me how fabric acts. How it can stretch, and stretch, and stretch. The head really elongated - and not vertically. My friends thought it looked like the creature from the Alien movie. Susan thought I should make a body for it. Not pretty. I knew it would be strange just from the size of the skull - but it was a fun experiment. After I made the Alien, I made another head for my Crash Test Daughter and today I sculpted it. It's okay and instead of making five dozen more I'll use it. I must have some idea stuck in my head regarding these little heads I've been creating lately but I have no clue what. I'm just not satisfied with anything. Sharon says I'm a perfectionist .. Shirley says something similar. Funny, I never see myself that way. I see the little things I don't do and hope no one notices.
