Finally done! If it wasn't for drying time I could have had her finished yesterday. I sprayed her face with Craftgard. I took step by step photos of drawing/coloring her face so that will be in this pattern too. It's amazing how different the two girls look - the faces were stuffed differently and the eye shapes make one alert and one rather sleepy.

The hat is a fake, LOL. It's an illusion of a hat - don't you just love it! Next posting I'll tell you how I made the hat. The big piece of lace she's standing on isn't attached to the doll - it's just a 'prop'. I have yards and yards of this lace. Bought an entire 'bolt' when a fabric store went out of business. The two girls will be shipped down to Soldotna next week. Phew. Now to think of something new to make!
She is fantastic! I love the eyes. I'm anxious to find out about the hat. LOL.
Posted by: Gerry at May 5, 2007 4:47 PMI'd love to hear this one's backstory -- I have a whole scenario worked out for her in my head and I'm wondering if it's anything like what you have in mind for her character. She's another beauty Judi -- you do such evocative faces!

Posted by: JudiA at May 5, 2007 4:49 PMI can't decide which one I prefer! You know I love color, so I lean toward Ingrid, but I also love black-and-white. Hmmm ... guess I'll have to call it a draw! Question: Is it my poor eyesight or is half her upper body a rose color? Your students are going to enjoy making this doll!
Posted by: Kai at May 5, 2007 4:50 PMWOW, she is gorgeous Judi, Good luck with the class.
Posted by: Sandra Walker at May 5, 2007 5:13 PMThere is something sweet...but...naughty about her. I like her alot.

Posted by: Dianne at May 7, 2007 3:22 PMI really like Ingrid's dress. Is it wrong to covet a doll's dress?
