Recently I have grown to love Izannah Walker dolls so I purchased this awesome PDF book by Dixie Redmond HERE. Dixie Redmond has put together this beautifully detailed book of how to make your own Izannah Walker inspired doll (emphasizing "inspired" for me). She takes the doll step-by-step and even includes patterns!
This is my first attempt at actually making my own doll and let me tell you....this is alot of work but very gratifying. Because I do not sew....at all....I am improvising...alot. The head is made of paperclay. She is not perfect, but I think she is almost ready to cover with cotton stockinette/material. Before I cover her, I will make a mold of her face and bust therefore speeding up the process considerably.
Have a good one!!
I think your little doll is looking very good. I know you are enjoying working on her. I'm not great at sewing either, but you have to learn that along with making the dolls.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha! Yes, my next project is to buy a sewing machine to start making my dolls. Thank God Dixie gives excellent instructions in her class. Dollmaking is definately in a class all its own.
ReplyDeleteLove your dolls, they are just beautiful!
