Making Dolls: Different Approaches

Dollmaking encompasses a wide variety of styles and approaches and I like to dabble in quite a few of them.............here are some recent ones that are poles apart in concept.
The first one is more or less in the tradition of a Waldorf play doll - I say more or less, because this doll with fingers, toes, knees and nose has a fair bit more detail than the really traditional Waldorf dolls.......but I couldn't resist! It is definitely play-proof, though. She is just waiting for some clothes knitted and sewn from natural fabrics and yarns.
The second pensive little miss is far more detailed and while she could be played with, she is not as robust as the other. She is quite small (see reference to hand in one picture) so painting the face and hair presented a bit of a challenge. She's still waiting for her unders (of course!) and I'm going to make her some leather shoes. Both of these dolls will be for sale in my Etsy store next week.
