Dottie is the second in my Dreamgirls series.
She features a full facial repaint including turquoise blue eyes
and a hint of blush, and rooted eyelashes. She is also the first
doll I have created with molded hair. She's a good example of
how ideas change after you start a project. I chose the base
doll in large part for her long, pretty platinum blonde hair,
but as I went along she told me she'd rather have short, black
hair! Her costume and accessories were crocheted using vintage
turquoise perle cotton thread. Both arms were slightly reshaped,
and one hand was remodeled so that she could more easily hold
her fan. Her fan, bodice, and rear end feature hand sewn silver
sequins and turquoise glass rocaille beads, and her jewelry is
a combination of a variety of Czech and other glass beads. |
