So, I haven't written a thing on this blog in almost a month,, what a month it has been...
Running here and there and taking care of business and making stuff.. Making stuff like socks, bags, dinners, my opinion heard, and a cool doll.....
I took a class with elinor peace baily as the instructor. Each student could choose one of elinor's many doll patterns to work with.
I chose the Bead Merchant pattern. Here is the original doll made by elinor.
This thing that looks like a penguin is the "stump" for the doll. That means that under her skirts she does not have legs, just bare feet. I made this first.
Then I made the head. The head takes a lot more stuffing than one might think. After this, the photos get fewer, I was having too much fun making all the layers of clothing.
This chick really believes in the layered look. She wears an underskirt, then a dress, a bodice drape, an apron, a coat, and a vest.

I didn't take any more photos until we arrived home.
Dave named her ZORKA...
This is a rear view.
Her hat is not finished, it needs more beads.
She has a bindi.
And bare feet.
