THE ELF IS FINISHED ~Bethann Scott~

I finally finished the Elf Up on the Rooftop today. This project took about 3-4 weeks to complete. I took an online doll class with instructor Kathryn Walmsley. The class is quite an undertaking and has a lot of detail. This is my first paperclay doll class.

 I added the hair, collar, cuffs, holly trim, drum and the jumping jack. The jacket is made with red sparkle satin and is fully lined. Yellow pearl beads embellish the front. The gold sleeves are silk and the shoes are glued in place, but next time I will hand sew a pair. I really don't like to use glue.
