The 2 pairs of shoes are just about finished. I am gluing down the threads I used to sew on the buckles.
I am gluing on Autumn’s wig- always a scary step. If the doll’s hair doesn’t look right, the whole doll looks off. Tomorrow is doll club and I want to bring these 2 dolls, as close to finished as possible.
I am disatisfied somehow with Golden Baby. It is odd- I had a very clear idea of what I wanted to do with him and I’ve done it, but he seems to be missing something. I liked him best with no clothes on.
With Autumn, I started out with only the idea that I wanted to make a braided hair wig. When the wig was done, I went through my fabrics, pulling out colors, textures and patterns that seemed to go together. From there I figured out what kind of clothes she would wear, never having more then a vague idea in my head where I was going with it. I am really happy with the way she has turned out. I am wondering, if I look back at the dolls I have been most happy with, will I have gone a similar route?
