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.

Here is the project complete with doll, wolf and background.

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.

Red Riding Hood is a work in progress

I used Tibetan lamb's wool for her wig making.

This is what I've accomplished so far.

CLOTH DOLL WIP ~RED RIDING HOOD AND THE WOOF~ by Bethann Scott

It's hard to believe it's been almost one month since my last post. As far as sewing goes, I haven't accomplished much. Most of my time has been spent outdoors enjoying nature. A few days ago I began work on my "Red Riding Hood" doll.

Adding color to her face is the most enjoyable phase of doll making.
