I love making dolls. I usually make one while I'm mulling over my next major art quilt. This (these?) girls presented their own problems - I had a great time putting this together.
The heads are made of painted canvas, hand stitched and embellished with odd bits of buttons, hardware, beads, etc. Legs made from bobbins, hand painted and cut to size. Arms of upholstery fabric, hands needle sculpted. The body - what to do with the body...hmmm. Decision made - use Apoxy Sculpt - love that stuff. A box-like form made of foam core and tape; covered it with the Apoxy Sculpt. After curing for 24 hours, it was painted. Vintage button glued on with E-6000. She stands 13" high.
