Doll making
Drama and stitched dolls
23 April 2013
Drama this weekend.
The sun came out so we went for a lovely long walk (Whippet X and I accompanied by Daughter No 1 and her wayward Pup Koda).
A lovely walk - all under control as much of it was a lead walk (but since it was about 7 miles, don't think that the dogs were too hard done by).
But, and luckily this was at the end of the walk, Whippet X had a rather unfortunate and expensive encounter with what we can only presume was a nail or similar on a fence post.
And this was the outcome!
These are fabric dolls - stuffed calico bodies covered with an air dry clay.
I suggested she enter them in the FoQ. What do you think?
Oh, and the finished JQ 'Bed Time Stories' is now here.

The anasthetic bothered him more than either the original gash ('what gash Mum?') or the subsequent stitches.
Meanwhile, while we were at the vet, Daughter No 1 pressed on with some doll making.
The Black gesso gives them a rather spooky look.

Keeping it in the family
29 October 2011
As well as Son No 1, daughter is also a bit of a creative type. She is doing an illustration degree at Portsmouth Uni. She is not so much a 'drawer' as a 3D illustrator and she has let me share the images from one of her recent projects.
I cannot share the exact techniques with you, other than to say that she uses air drying clay a lot. This particular doll was modeled over string to give the doll flexibility at the joints.
I have helped her make dolls clothes in the past . Dolls are so fiddly because they are small.
I love her work and hope you do too.
