"It's a Girl!!!"....doll

Look at this little cutie girl I bought on Etsy from...Michelle at Crow Haven Studio Farms....she is such a little imp...getting her chops up for the Mad Tea Party...June 27th. Her little legs just dangle when you grab her by her little skinny throat when she is up to NO good........she is one of the Gossip girls that Michelle made I really Love her!

OK what do you do when you are getting ready to teach a Doll clay in Cloth and Clay at Artfiberfest in a few days...lets see last time when I taught at my house...I cleaned every thing and every drawer....hmm...this time I think I will make a completely new doll.........

So inspired by Michelle Shaffer's dolls, My friends at ADO etsy group dolls, Black eyed Suzi dolls, Du Buh Du Designs Dolls,

and my all time favorite friend BARBIE fashion dolls...
(as a young teeny...I spent endless hours making haunt courtier clothing for her in the 60's chic styles...I am looking forward to doing it again....with my new dolls)

I tried my hand at a Sculpey clay doll....I used Barbie's dimensions for the body...and a big head like a few other dolls I picked up at the Goodwill....a Bratz...and Holly Hobby???

I burnt her nose...Michelle said bake her at 250 instead of 275. Then bake longer...30 mins.

I also had to remake the legs...with wire inside as they twisted and broke when I tried to bend them back...they are very long legs...because she is a fashion doll and needs to walk the runway....soon I hope!

Ta Da.......I like her hair...it is like my Kimt inspired doll with the black hair and red necklace......so she sits.... waiting to be to be painted and dressed after Artfiberfest......and with all the new skills I will be learning from Ruth Rae I think she will have a nice dress....
