I am a maker of dolls, sculpture and other art. This blog is about my daily journey.
This new piece I've been working on is progressing........here are a few more pictures. I painted the face at night (always a bit fraught) so I will need to do a bit of patching up and repair work on the paint-job. Otherwise I'm happy with how it is turning out. Clothes next. The first image shows the cloth body with the sculpted parts added and under-painted dark brown. The middle picture shows the completed painting and the top image is a face close-up.
Here is a little painted fabric frog. Nidip! Nidip!
I've done a bit more work on this new head - here are a couple of new photos. I have added a cloth layer and sized the surface ready for painting. I've included a close-up of the face with pencilled-in features to show the textured cloth surface. I won't smooth this back too much prior to painting as I want this texture to show on the completed head. I'm pretty happy with this so far - she has just the expression I was aiming for. Hope I don't mess it up too much when I paint!
This is what it looks like outside my studio today, but here inside, I have lit a lovely warm fire on this cold, cold Saturday.
