Odessa flies to the moon

Oh my - another primitive doll has stolen my heart. Funny to think I used to hate these - thought they were incredibly ugly. It's taken me a couple of years to come around to liking them but now I've fallen big time, LOL. They are definitely a 180 degree change from what I've been making. I hope you like her as much as I do ... so .. drum roll please ...

Say hello to Odessa. She sure looks worried, doesn't she. Her dream was to fly to the moon and now that she's there she's a bit scared. She is a pattern from Dirty Crow Inn - an E-pattern (sent by email) - instant gratification, I like that! She is painted with acrylics instead of coffee stained like the last prim. Her proportions aren't off in the picture - she is supposed to look like this. Big head, little legs. This pattern called for doing all the painting before you attached all the body parts. The arms and legs were easy, the head was a bitch. I don't know if it's because I'm still using a high thread count fabric instead of a muslin but I don't know anyone who makes prims so I can't ask. Had to use hemostats to pull the needle through the fabric to put the head on the neck. My fingers are sore! I still have to make her display - she will sit on a paper box. But I have to go buy one. I think I will put her up at my Etsy store when I'm done. I have to learn to let go of my little creations - I tend to get attached to them, LOL.
