Off with her head!
I can be really hard on myself some days. I decided that her features were too big and I'd make a new face/head. I don't like the new one either, lol. I think I need to lower the features a bit. Or something. One thing that's good is that only the hands show so my worry about matching skin fabrics isn't coming into play. I can make a ton of these heads until I get one I'm happy with. As you can see she is mostly dressed now too - just needs some embellishing. Bad thing is that the doll doesn't stand anymore - i think the weight of the clothes has tipped her too far forward. So that means I have to figure out how to saw some of the heel off the shoe. This ought to be interesting!
I think the first face is lovely and would work well. Love her cloths beautiful colours.

Posted by: Kat at December 16, 2008 4:43 AMJudi maybe just wait til you get her head back on and hair too... it may be enough to make her stand again... can you stitch the head on a bit further back or stuff the head a bit heavy on the back side? how bout a little fishing weight in the back of her head? .or inside her dress at the butt or somewhere..?
Posted by: Veronica at December 16, 2008 9:06 AMJusi the doll is lovely! I love the color choices and I like both faces. I Really like the first one. I have the pattern also but have not had time to work on her yet. Oh my!
Posted by: nita at December 17, 2008 5:49 PMYou are such an inspiration. Love your work!
Posted by: Iri Schindler at December 20, 2008 10:57 AMI think the face is beautiful - and her clothes are just breathtaking! I really love the colors - she is so bright and vivid!
You are being way hard on yourself - she is stunning. Her face is wonderful - and I would literally have a party if I had *one* face turn out like that. Even if it was intended for a 2" doll. Are you kidding?? Every doll I ever made from here to eternity, would have an exact replica of that face.
I hope you can get the balance issue sorted without having to start deconstructing. Maybe Veronica is right?
You are immensely talented!
