Hey all, just thought I'd post a picture of a new doll I made this week, the pattern is from Blue Heron Dolls, http://www.etsy.com/shop/blueherondolls

The pattern is intermediate and really easy to follow, button jointed, trapunto technique is used for 3d nose and forehead,



Are there any other dollmakers on this forum I wonder?

I love her! I'm not a doll maker but I'm studying how to.

I think we used to have a couple doll makers around.  Not sure if they still visit or not.

Great doll!  She looks a little bit like you... Ok maybe it is just the dreads and the beautiful smile.

Nice work! I agree with Shawn, it looks a lot like you

 ;)Not that good at dollmaking yet, But with an 8 year old stepniece it does come in handy. Steve

I thought the same I think you used the mirror to make her hair and face. She is very loveble........
Her face is that needle work or ....

Wao, nice job. And I agree with all them, its looks like you! 

Nice job.
I've tried working on art dolls using polymer clay in the past, but I've never gotten further than the head.

You're all really kind, thank you for your compliments
@gompie... art pencils, trapunto and soft sculpting makes up her face.
I took her to an expo on wednesday, in Bathsheba, St. Joseph (Barbados of course, lol) glorious day! Stunning view. I was invited by the craft council. I sold a couple of dolls and two puppets, made some contacts, and got a request for a story telling gig coming up in Queens Park at the end of the month. Very productive day!

Cool!

My first thought was the doll looks just like her too. Lovely doll!

Thanks for the pictures of Barbados and the fair!  It is snowing here at the moment so they helped to warm me up.

Those lovely pictures of Barbados really make me wonder why I live in Iowa!!  Especially when I have to leave in a few minutes to travel 4 or more hours to a show and it is snowing outside AGAIN!!! Yikes!! I'can't wait for spring!!!!

Ok it is decided!  We are all going to pack up and move to Barbados and live with Rosie!  How big is your house Rosie?
