Day 5 of Soft Dolls...missed Monday!

Hi, back from my long weeked away from making dolls. I posted yesterday but only my fried chicken and my windchimes :)It was great chicken mmmm

Anyway, I have stuffed the doll head and its ready for sculpting. Its a bit different than I had imagined but I like it so far. I can't decide if I want to cover the face with another piece of flesh colored knit and get rid of the center line or just gesso it and go from there. I didnt cover the Gypsy and you can see the line down the center of her face, minorly, but you can see it. If I decide to cover it I will need to do that before I sculpt the face of course. Hmm..ok. Im going to give it a go without the covering once again as I did with the Gypsy.

2 of the pics that I took a few moments ago. I started to stuff them earlier and noticed that one of the front areas of the neck started to run. I caught it in time and put a tiny bit of fray check on the area to secure it!

I wish I could find my disappearing ink pen for the facial features. I really don't want to have to buy another one, I've only gotten one use out of this one so far. I know it's in there somewherrrrrre. I also would like to pick up a longer sculpting needle since this is a longer/larger doll face.

I've had a lot of fun this weekend looking up different doll sites that I found in a magazine called Soft Dolls. I started buying this magazine late last yr, which is how I became interested in making them in the first place. Soon after looking into this magazine my dear little Gypsy was born. I will post that site as soon as I learn how...lol. I know it should be easy but....and it might be so we shall see.

Well, I will be back in a few, I need to make some dinner. I bought some strip steaks at a great price! And we have a great indoor grill that gives you a steak that tastes just like you made it outdoors..mmmm. I still would like to post the recipe for the fried chicken that I made on sunday.

Beeeee back! Dulce
