RED RIDING HOOD AND THE WOLF CLOTH ART DOLLS FINISHED

I'm excited to say that I finished the dolls last night. I began working on these dolls quite awhile ago but they were set aside for other projects. It's so nice to complete this project. 

One little detail I knew I needed was some doll food. After all, Red Riding Hood couldn't go to Grandma's House empty handed. I used Fimo clay to make, or shall I say bake, bread to put in her basket. The photo is how it looks before it went into the oven.

The over dress laces up the front and the eyelets were hand stitched. 

            

I made her cape using red velvet and it's lined.

Red Riding Hood: a work in progress

  Though I love the outdoors, I'm glad to be inside sewing again. Yesterday and today was spent making her wig using Tibetan lamb's wool. I purchase the wool on the hide, clip off in tiny pieces and then glue onto a wig cap that is fitted specifically for her head size. This process takes about 7-8 hours to complete. I love the results so I figure it's worth the time.

The dress she's wearing is just temporary until I decide on her costume. My plans are to make a chemise, a fitted dress and of course, a red cape.

AN ANGEL

The doll I've been working on has become an Angel and it seemed appropriate with Easter just a few days away. I was thinking she may be a fairy, but it became clear that she was going to be an Angel when I added her wings. The wings took some time to construct. I need to finish a few more details before she is finished.
