I had thought that I would be finished by tuesday at the latest but just as I was finishing the details......there just seemed to be more to add!
I've had so much fun with Zandar and am very happy to have him join my family.
A FEW OF THE DETAILS......
His hair is hand stitched and his clothes are part pattern and mostly modification :) I like to start with a basic pattern piece and then adjust and modify as I go so that it fits just right. Depending on a fold, a seam, a dart or hem..things can change. It all depends on the personality of the doll, and they do end up having one ;D
I gave Zandar a walking stick...its part of a dried flower arrangement that I have in my living room! I took only a portion of it and of course gave the other half to Sophia :) she loves it.
The boots are made from a piece of upholstery suede that I found a few weeks ago...haha, I just knew I would need it sometime soon. I have hand sewn them with some button/upholstery thread that I had in a box of bits and pieces that my Mom left me. Thanks Mom.
His earrings are actually jump rings from my jewelry making supplies and his coat trim is a strand of beads that I started during the Holidays for a gift and didnt finish. They had a place after all :)
I have painted his face with gesso only in the places that were to be filled in with color, Eyes, mouth,& nostrils. I have used water color pencils for all three areas and blushed his cheeks with a bit of my powder blush.
Hope you enjoyed the ride, I LOVED it!
Love~Peace~Balance~Harmony
