Marie Antoinette Art Doll

I have been wanting to make a pattern for a Marie Antoinette style  doll for a while now, but didn't know how to go about it or where to start.  I had looked online for a pdf or epattern but couldn't find one.  As I'm from Australia, postage can be quite expensive, and being quite impatient, like to have it right now! 

I drew up a pattern the other day, because I had  this vision to make a 'swan princess' which would have the head of a swan and a human body.   My girls were not impressed, so say the least.  The body was too 'Rubenesque' for the head etc.  

 So I pulled off the swan head and made a 'normal' head., and thought what am I going to make with this?  

It always amazes me how a doll takes on a life of it's own.

Finally finished..............

She is approximately 62cm in length, cotton body, underdress and bloomers are made from cotton lawn, overcoat/jacket is cotton/linen blend, face is drawn with fabric pens.

Please let me know what you think?  Does she need more detail or a change of face?

If anyone is interested I'm thinking of putting her pattern together for purchase, it will probably be 

about $10 and will be in pdf format.

'Harry'

The making of .........
'Harry' Cloth Doll

I made this doll for my daughter Emma who is obsessed with One Direction and wanted a doll to represent one of the members.  I know he doesn't look like him, I'm not an artist.  She wasn't happy with the head.
She's going on camp soon and wanted to take him with her.

New and bigger head.

With his denim suit and red checked shirt.

Finally finished!  If you would like a similar boy doll, he can customise him to
suit your child or decor.

Now he is finally, finally finished with a sculpted face and
more hair!  All ready for his trip to Central Australia!

Things I am working on at the moment.........................

My aunt Joni passed away in 1995 she was only 32.  She was my best friend. She was 4 when I was born
and we've always been really close.
 Lately I've been finding
the letter 'J' around the place.  If you look at the image above closely there is a 'J' in thread on the
white bloomers.
I love getting messages from the other side!  

                                              An Alice in Wonderland doll and cheshire cat.

Almost finished...........just need shoes and a headband.

Butterfly.  Still have to add wings and face.  Hopefully she'll be beautiful.
