ANYA AND BABA DOLL #1 FINISHED ~BETHANN SCOTT~ The Stitch Fiddler

 "The Traveler" Doll called Anya and Baba

 Today I finished the last details. I changed her head position, made her a walking stick and necklace. I used my own baby design which has a trapunto style face. The baby is dressed in a one piece romper and I designed another hat that ties in the front under her chin.  At first I had the hat scrunched ....but I wasn't all that thrilled with how it looked. So I changed her look by allowing the hat to be more elf style. I love it! Well I'm finally done with the two dolls and it was a long but fun journey.

BUSY SCULPTING HANDS AND LEGS

   I'm still sculpting. I hope to finish the hands today. I began the legs and high heel shoes. It takes several steps to accomplish the finished result. I wired the legs longer than needed. I wanted to make sure I had extra length with no regrets when adding the legs to the body. Today will be a busy day finishing the hands, sculpting the legs, sanding, sanding, sanding.

The stockings are painted and he needs shoes. The online doll class instructions give a different way of making the Chimney, which are very good. But I did my own thing. 

The Chimney still needs the "secret ingredient" Kathryn Walmsley gives us to make the top of the Chimney roof look like cement. This is my first doll wire armature. I decided to go with another style of armature than what the class was instructed to do. There's nothing wrong with the online class armature....it's just sometimes I may change up or do something different.
