dolls2small.jpgdolls1small.jpgHi everyone,

Wanted to share this photo of my first attempts at dollmaking, the large one is completely made out of dolskin fabric and the smaller one has a rope/cord body.  They were great fun to make but a challenge too - especially the clothes, the large one still doesn't have a proper outfit yet.

I drew the faces with watercolour pencils, and I think this is the part I enjoy most!

Hi Catherine, Your dolls are terrific.  I can't believe they are your first attempt - well done.  I love the faces and the colour of the larger girls hair.  I don't think my faces would be any good - they would look like kindergarten faces!!!!

The red head is really striking and I luv the concept of a rope body on the little one.
I'm looking forward to seeing more Catherine.

Oh, thank you so much Bren, I'm glad you like my dolls bear_original  The patterns for these dolls are my original designs, but I got some ideas out of books etc...and basically just used my bearmaking skills to fumble my way through.

I have two of Patti Culea's books which are great.  I also did an online watercolor pencil face class with Sherry Goshon.
