This doll should be named Experience because she has gone through many changes. She sat on a shelf in my workroom for a long time until this week, when I decided to stitch a body covering on her. I was dissatisfied with the messy paint marks on the body which needed covering up.
She started as a cloth doll where I experimented with a different paint type.
But I didn't like the slick surface.
So I added a layer of tube bandaging.
Then I painted two coats of glue on top of that.
Then I painted over the glue.
Now working on a body covering and she should be done soon.
I think she is pretty and old looking, The dress adds oldness to her in color and design.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Martha. That means a lot from someone who makes awesome old souls.
DeleteShe's wonderful, Dixie.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine - I value your feedback. :-)
DeleteShe looks just like the Alabama doll from the challenge we had on Maida doll group. Nice job Dixie!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judi! I was trying for something in that range.
DeleteAfter all that, I hope you will keep her--she is a work of art. And patience. :~)
ReplyDeleteI had planned to sell her. We will see. :-) Thanks, Jan.
