Day 4 Soft Sculptured Dolls cont

I did get the doll head sewn together and snapped some pics to show you what ive done so far. I am waiting for the fray check to set up/dry and then I will proceed by stuffing. I will take some more pics along the way with each process. I found a few things that I will modify for future dolls such as the marking pen that I used. I used a wet erase marker because it was handy and my dissappearing ink pen was not! It would have worked out fine except that when I ran a bead of fraycheck on it
the ink ran. Fortunately I trimmed the front of the face which I had planned on anyway and it will still work out :)
NOTE: to self....dont use regular markers! lol.

ok some pictures for you and some explanations: as you see in these two pics I have the front 2 halves sewn together and the back 2 also. I then have sewn the front and the back together, having matched seams at the top of the head.
The last pic is after I applied the fraycheck...its quite liquidy if you've never used it before. So as you can see, it made the ink run.. :(
But as I said, I had already trimmed the front of the face which will be the part that shows, so no running there, yay.

I have a few things to take care of and then I should have my material dry from the fraycheck. Then we can begin stuffing...I'll be back in a few.

I also have a piece of batting that I will stuff with, the bottle of fray check so you know what that looks like and my trusty crochet hook to help me get my batting in place...ok some more pics and explanations!
