girl in red dress
some dolls fight me all the way. This is one of them.
She’s had several different outfits. And, different legs. The thing is, I really liked her head- the face, hair, expression… I just had such a hard time getting the rest of her to work for me. Something wouldn’t look right so I’d go work on another doll. This one was what got all the rest of them finished!
In the end, I’ve made her something fairly simple and that works the best. Isn’t it always the way!
This is the last of the girls for now. I am spending this week getting ready for the Market this coming weekend. I am trying to finish all the half finished projects in my studio right now. I need to get my banner ready to hang and tag everything. All that little stuff takes so much time. I won’t be showing anymore finished pieces until next week.

I think your latest group of girls are so beautiful and so modern looking! I think the coloring on this particular girl is fantastic! You would never know she was such a struggle, but I know what you mean :)

Haha! an opinionated little girl! I’m riding a small horse with strong opinions a couple days a week, she reminds me of your red girl there. The horse’s name is Ruby. After some negotiation we generally get someplace happy…

she’s just perfect. I love the little brown ribbon detail the way it picks up the colour of her stockings and those dreamy brown eyes! Just beautiful. Hope the sun shines for you at the weekend. t.x

It figures she would’ve been your trouble child…I think she’s my favorite of all them! Good luck with all your prep work for the show. Sending successful show vibes your way :).

I love the little roll of trim around the neck. Your girls make a wonderful grouping.
