And I've been working on a bit of trompe l'oeil (trick the eye) painting an another doll I'm working on. I use trompe l'oeil quite a lot when painting my dolls, even when I'm not painting on a flat surface, because I find that I can enhance the sculpting quite a bit using tints and tones to add more depth. With this new doll, the surface is flat, so the illusion of three dimensionality is achieved just using paint. Not sure if I'm happy with this yet - I may re-paint it.
Love them both... so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove the little knitted cardigan, so sweet. The face on the 'flat face' doll is perfect in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteOh so beautiful, as always! I love the little sweater, too! Both dolls are lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove them both!
ReplyDeleteOh Susie, she is beautiful. LOVE how she is dressed. As usual, this doll calls to me...come to America...come to America.
ReplyDeleteThe flat face doll is great also. Are you developing something new here? New pattern or class?
The little Autumn child is beautiful and her cardigan with ties that match her slippers is perfect. The painting on the flat face doll looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteThe little knitted sweater and matching booties are so sweet. Do you knit them yourself?
ReplyDeleteBoth are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDid you make the little sweater too? I love everything about her :)
What a wonderful doll, so sweet!
