I have just completed a special order for a customer who wants a doll of a specific size and proportions to correspond with the size and proportions of a certain very popular American play doll designed for girls in the older age group (7 - 10). The customer wants to make the doll herself, but needed help with the head and designing the body. Here is the head blank I created for her and I custom-designed a jointed cloth body to match this head. I have sent the customer the body pattern and instructions along with the head blank.
While I was working on this I had to do a bit of research to find out measurements etc. I'm pretty happy with the design I came up with which is more or less an enlarged version of this:
Here is the sculpted head I made for this special order:
I'm looking forward to some feedback when my customer completes the doll!
