The wings were "Up-cycled" from a plastic milk carton, daisy petals (from the dollar store) and hot glue. The first wings I've every made.  They turned out pretty nice :-)

Pin Dolls

My first ever Pin Doll was made as a name tag for the doll club that I joined, Indy Cloth Doll Makers.  The hair style I found while searching on Pinterest http://www.livemaster.ru/topic/69033-pricheska-printsesse-tilde one day looking for all things on cloth doll making and this hair style was listed.

 

  And I am now hooked!  Thank you ladies! :-)

Disco Time

2003  I purchased Patti Medaris Culea's first book and I made a doll from one of the pattern (cannot remember which one it was...)  After reading the book (yes I read it from front to back-LOL) I learned to stuff doll parts properly, sculpting techniques to the face and body parts & applying color to the face.

Dana..

I was proud of the shoes I made from polymer clay.  They turned out Great!

 

 

my apologies for the grainy pictures the originals were lost.



 

2008 Ballerina

In 2008, I purchased my 1st pattern of a ballerina. The pattern used for this doll is the "Sugar Plum Faery" by Becky Holloway. One of the techniques in the instructions was the use of eyelashes and creating a free standing doll stand were new techniques that was a challenge for me. But, I love a challenge!

By using this pattern, I gained new techniques to incorporate in the future dolls (and I have a LOT of IDEAS) that I want to make.

Darn.  I think that I have to fix the doll stand to make it more stable. It doesn't look stable enough for me...

Here are a few more pics showing different views of her.
