The doll is done!

Well! nearly 2 weeks since I posted anything.  I decided to try not spending so much time on the PC for a week 'cos once I get on I spend an awful lot of time here and that's great if I have the time; which I do; and I'm enjoying it, but you know sometimes you just feel that you should be being more productive.  I've finished a doll I was working on.  As I was going to the doll group yesterday I wanted to get it done.  Speaking of the doll group I'm in the process of setting up a blog as we did originally have a website but as it's now lapsed we thought it would be easier to set up a blog.  I offered to do it as Chris who runs the group is very busy.  It was a bit of a faff though but eventually it seems the only way to do it is using another name so I invented one :-/  I didn't want to use my own account to set up another blog.  The other thing is if I log into the other blog on my PC I can't log into my own - does anyone know differently?  Not that it really matters but I wanted to become a follower of the new blog but it seems I'll have to do that through DD's PC and if I want to post anything in both blogs I'll have to login to one then out to login to the other???
 Anyway here's dolly ;-)  She has a wire armature which I've wrapped wadding then fabric strips round.  Her nose is a bit odd, but adds to the character - at least that's what I'm telling myself LOL  If you have any questions about it please ask.
She's based on dolls in Ray Slater's 'Dolls for Textile Artists' though I didn't follow the book to make her.

Wrapped Wire Doll number2

I've finally got round to making another one of these. This one is a lot bigger than the first and I'm happier with it. They are inspired by the wire armature dolls in 'Cloth Dolls for Textile Artists' by Ray Slater. Her eyes are a bit far apart I think, but then I'm no artist lol

Wrapped Wire Doll

I was inspired to make some of these after seeing them in a cloth doll book. This is the first. The full photo is the doll lying down so I thought it may look better standing but that one hasn't turned out so well, neither has the close-up of the face but I'm putting them on anyway :-/ I started off with a wire armature which I covered in wadding, then wrapped in various yarns and braids. Thanks for looking :)
