Sookie!

Firstly!

Sherry over at
Decorating with Cents
did a lovely photo session
of all the things I managed to cram into the box
for the giveaway she won.
Sherry is a real sweetheart
and does some of the most amazing things
with paint on glass.
Pop over and say Hi!

And,
thanks to all you
wonderful
helpful
supportive
people,
I finished Miss R White
 a week early!

I decided, what the heck,
and finished another doll as well!

I know!

This is for Aunt Linda.
Aunt Linda is Aunt Brenda's twin sister
and Aunt Brenda got a doll 
last year for her birthday.

A doll with clothes, obviously.
 I have no photos of the finished doll.
It was a deadline thing

Anyway.
You know how twins can be, right?
So, this year, Aunt Linda gets a doll.

She gets Sookie.

Sookie is a similar design,
with a soft sculpted face
and other soft sculpted
....uh...
features.

I've been looking at boudoir dolls
and rather fancied making some
fancy ladies who've led rather racy lives.

Sookie is a Saloon Gal.
She can sing;
 she can dance a little in those fancy boots.
She's got a couple of other talents...

(Hubby has already requested
a German Beer Garden girl.
Maybe I could go around the world,
French Can Can girls?
Belly Dancers?)


Sookie is all bows and ringlets
at the back.

 This is what Patti,
over at Ivy and Elephants
called a Butt Bow
It's a brilliant term!

She is wearing seamed stockings
and she has a laced corset
over her frothy tulle skirt
with  ribbons and roses.

The frothy red tulle adorning her derriere
comes from
 the lovely bundle of fabrics I won
in Teresa's Giveaway at
A Magical Whimsy .

All dressed up
she insists on going to the fair
 before being wrapped up
and delivered to Aunt Linda.

So that will be Sookie
and Miss R White 
going off tomorrow.
Wish them luck!

Why did I call her Sookie?

So I could say it like Bill in True Blood.
C'mon!
Say it with me.

Say it like Bill.

Say it like Sookie, saying it like Bill.

Sookeh!
