After making a tiny (4") replica Izannah Walker doll, I couldn't wait to have a go at making a full size one. Here are some pictures of the work thus far. Next job will be to paint the doll and then make the clothes. There are a few things 'wrong' with this doll - the feet are too big and bulky (the original Izannah dolls have dainty little feet with painted boots) but she's stuck with them - I'll alter the pattern when I make the next one. Also, the proportions are not quite right - on the originals, the head appears to be relatively large, but I can live with this.
The pencilled-in features are only temporary - just to help with the placement.
Susie , you´re too good !!!!

Susie - she's beautiful. I find things to fix with every next doll ;-) They each have to be who they are, though.
ReplyDeleteToo right, Dixie - I toyed with the idea of making a smaller body and different feet, but she decided to be, as you say, who she is so I left her as is! Her new sister will be a bit more 'Izannah-ish', possibly.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you both for the positive feedback - keeps me going stuck out here in the sticks!
