Yesterday was a beautiful day and I took some of the dolls to my local park to have some fun photographing them. It wasn’t completely successful- lots of photos with the doll stand showing in a strange way or odd light… but I learned a lot for next time. And there were some that I liked-
And then there was the wildlife!
firstly, woohoo! Small Magazine! I’m here with some fantastic company!
And now, Red Riding Hood 3. This is the last one.
I’m not sure why, but my camera loves grass. If I take a photo with grass in it, all the other colors are perfect!
She has a little bit of over-dyed knitted lace for a collar. And some sweet embroidery at her waist.
Here she is with her hood up-
When I look at her face, I think- no wolf is going to get the better of her!
I’ve had some people suggest that I make a wolf- probably not going to happen… but I did think about it. And do some sketches.
Cashmere cape and dress. Embroidered bodice. 21 1/2 inches tall.
Be a little bit afraid-
She has a cashmere hooded cape, a wool dress with vintage ribbon trim and a cream wool felt collar.
Her basket is wool felt. The dress is made from the sleeves of a sweater.
The basket attaches to the wrist with a hook and eye.
There are a few different photos at Flickr.
I’ve got 2 more Red Riding Hoods to do. They are cut out, stuffed and ready for their handwork.
