I will come back to the tutorial shortly. I am introducing my Art Dolls from Art Doll Quarterly I hadso much fun creating them! Then I just
couldn’t let go of them until I was well.
(Had a long bout
with a broken leg, much better now).They are not jointed like my other
dollies, but I think you will like them.
I feel they are chock-full of Whimsy! This is just one of them…more to
come. All will be one of a kind and come
signed by me.
Estella is part paper Mache and part soft sculpture
doll. She stands 30-inches with her hat
on (one of my larger witches) and about 20-inches when sitting. Her body is
made of muslin that has been stuffed and weighted for sitting. Estella’s arms
and legs are detailed in acrylic paint and lightly wired for posing and holding
very light objects. Her legs can also be positioned to sit in different
ways. She also displays very well
standing with the use of a doll stand. Sometimes, after shipping, the weight
bag inside her, shifts a little, and one may have to set the doll down with a
little “thump” or “bump” to their bottom in order to re position the weights.
Estella’s hat is made of coco brown felt topped with a large
hand blown glass, lamp work jack-0-
lantern. Coordinating bodice and sleeves
are made of a 100% cotton fabric with a whimsical, Halloween Harlequin, print
and accented with an elaborate lapel in a decorative plaid that is elaborately
embellished with skull beads, ribbon, and lace. Her collar is made with five
layers of different cotton Halloween prints that echo the colors in her stylish
outfit. Sparkling crystals are and added dazzle, applied one by one on much of
her lace trim.
Estella’s skirt is a display of colorful print and colorful
scenic stripes. Her overskirt is of
brown and lime lace with ribbon ruffled lace with little bat “garters” near her
knees. . Her skinny little boots are
topped with crystal edged lime trim and adorned silver jewelry findings with
jade colored glass crystals. She holds
her bucket full of Candy corn. It is
decorated with colorful Halloween trim and most importantly her little, candy
corn, hand sculpted friend, Grinz!
Estella is not a toy, but a collectors doll and should not
be purchased for children.
The Auction is at 9p.m. See you on Ebay!
My Best Always,
Carly
