FROG FAIRY ~CLOTH ART DOLL~

I thought I would try something a little different. I wanted to make a sweet little fairy but with frog legs. I also wanted to make a diorama to pose her for her photos.

 I made her a diorama that would include a water feature....after all she is part frog.

                                        

She also went through a few costume changes and hairstyles before I decided to give her the bluish green crop top. It never ceases to amaze me how different a doll can look with different clothes, colors and hair styles. 

                                             

In the end I went with a blue-green crop top and an up-do.

Pixie Fairy

Another elf doll is complete and this one received wings. I would say she is more of a Fairy than an elf. Maybe a Moss Fairy. I did several experiments while making her.  Trying a little of this with a little of that. It was a learning experience for me. There's a small sense of accomplishment to construct a doll from an armature sketch. I wasn't sure what she would become, she may not be perfect, but I enjoyed the process.

This is a photo of her head before I changed her ears.

FAIRY ELF IN PROGRESS ~THE STITCH FIDDLER~ Bethann Scott

I just finished sewing a Fairy Elf Doll and am choosing the color for her costume. I find it helpful to place fabric over the doll's body and take photos. I'm always fascinated how color changes the look of a doll. I'm leaning towards the purple, but if you're a follower, you know I'm subject to change my mind!

SNEAK PEEK ~ WOODLAND FAIRY? ~ ADDING EMBELLISHMENTS

I'm making rosettes for her dress. I'm using a soft netting fabric (somewhat like tulle) and added a gold sequin and a tiny bead to the center. The gold rick rack and rosettes pinned in place to see if it's to my liking. I also have her arms pinned in place until I decide the position. Once sewn in place that's it....no changing. I almost like her the way she is before wings....but I was thinking more on the lines of a Woodland Fairy.
