Progress on my
wicked boudoir doll.
More of the boots,
now with faux stockings.
The heels have a
cocktail stick armature
with paperclay
and more paperclay for the sole.
I was worried about it cracking
or flexing away from the fabric
but it all seems pretty secure.
Now she has hair
(dirty blonde!)
and a face
and a name.
Melinda.
You'll address her as Mistress, however.
The stockings are made from tulle
with seams at the back.
They'll have suspenders
(Garter belt?)
and little garters.
I've finally worked out how to make the face
with no center seam over the mouth,
which does make the lips easier to paint.
And I'd better get back to work
or I'm going to be in trouble.
Looking good :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! She's been a lot of fun so far!
DeleteThe mistress looks lovely. Her eyes are very magnetic and mysterious!:)
ReplyDeleteYour doll making is amazing!
I'm so glad you like her eyes. I wanted a wicked expression, but not too severe. Magnetic and mysterious sounds perfect!
DeleteThis is my favourite of yours .I love her face-can't wait to see her finished
ReplyDeleteOh! Thank you! I'm so glad you like her. I'm hoping to finish her outfit this weekend, but you know how those plans go!
DeleteSuch outstanding workmanship! I love her... Can't wait to see her in completion.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Penny! She's been fun to work on and I learned so much. That's what I like best about doll making, each one teaches me something new.
DeleteOh wow! She is gorgeous! I love how you did her shoes! You did such a fantastic job on her face. I say this all the time with your dolls, but this one is definitely my favorite doll you've made so far!
ReplyDeleteOh, Mandy, thank you so much! She looked pretty awful before she got some hair and I was thinking I might have to re-make the head. So I'm really glad you like her! Apparently, blonde hair fixes everything.
DeleteHer kinky boots were a giggle to make. I'm going to have make some more!
OH MY......Rhissanna, you are extremely talented! This doll has the most wonderful expression, let alone all the detail you are putting into her clothing and boots! WOW! WONDERFUL! And thank you for coming to visit my post. Oh, how I loved that little blue coat my mum sewed for me.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY DAY and you are just so good at this art! Anita
Oh, thank you, Anita! Your support means a lot to me and thank you for dropping by to visit. I love that photo of you in the little blue coat. Your mother made it? She had gifted hands!
DeleteThat coat would look really sweet on a doll. Hummmmmm...
She's fabulous and very naughty but nice:)
ReplyDeleteThank you! 'Naughty but Nice' is exactly what I'm aiming for! :)
DeleteHow sweet of you to stop in and visit my sister's art.. Isn't she wonderful? Although I love them all, I think the white rabbit is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see this doll!
Have a great weekend,
Penny
Happy to do it! She made a Steampunky White Rabbit, how could I not love that?
DeleteSo interesting to see how things happen with the dolls . She has the perfect expression for mystery and allure . The eyes are so life like ~amazing. Wonderful craft you have.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! As it is, I have very little control over who my dolls become. They usually have ideas of their own.
DeleteShe sure is sassy!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed! Every morning she demands to know where her outfit is and why I haven't finished it yet. So bossy, some dolls!
DeleteI love Mistress! She is one sexy, cool lady ;o) I can't wait to see what happens next ;o)
ReplyDeleteI think what happens is that I do what I'm told and hurry up and get her finished! Or I'll be in trouble!
DeleteOh, she is fabulous! What a great doll.
ReplyDeleteSherry

ReplyDeleteFABBY
Thank you, Fabby! I'm so glad you like her!
DeleteOh she is gorgeous I loooove her eyes and she has a very sweet face. One of my friends makes her doll heads this way. One day I want to try it out too. So how are you getting on with the mini challenge ?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shashi! Now I don't have to paint lips over a seam, I'm a lot happier.
DeleteThe challenge head? Uh, I've downloaded it *nods* When's the due date?
Hello Rhisshanna! THANK YOU FOR COMING! And that couch; I picked the photo because I love the tufting and the color, but the wording on it....I am really NOT sure what it means!!!!!!! Many hugs and thanks for coming by. Anita
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! And I think is means, you can't sit down until you've done some moving around. Stir well before use. :))
