Betty Jean

Betty Jean was named after my aunt and reminds me of the matriarch of the family, prudish but classy. I have added a touch of blue in her dress and embellishing for a little color. Betty Jean resides in my dining room.

Estelle

Because of the stiff, wooden quality of this doll, I found it harder to “find” her personality, but she represents some random thoughts for me.

The large hands remind me of the hard work that generations before us went through, just to survive.  I suppose that is irony, considering the original was a fashion model, intended for looking at and not even for play.  To bad models don’t try to make their bums look big anymore!

ClaraBell

I named her ClaraBell. I'm not sure why I chose that name but it seems to suit her. What was great about making this doll is I had some wood grain fabric in my stash for a few years and couldn't figure out what I would do with it. When Judi introduced this pattern I immediately started looking for this fabric in my stash because it would be perfect. I hope she likes how it turned out. She was fun to make.

Isabella


Meet Isabella, a Reproduction in Cloth~Antique Carved Wooden Doll.  She was made out of muslin fabric and put together using the pattern provided by Judi Ward for this challenge.  Isabella measures 20 1/2 inches tall and was painted with several coats of paint then crackled and stained to give her an aged, wooden look.  Her face was sculputed and painted with lots of detail and shading.  For her braided hair style, I used paper clay and painted it with shades of brown.  The cap is made of lace and coffee stained with an embellishment on the center back.  Isabella also wears a vintage looking necklace and vintage buttons to hold her arms in place.  She has individual fingers which allow her to pose nicely or simply have her arms hang to the side.

"Dans le Jardin"

I used a combination of painting techniques and decoupage to create the skirt of my doll. I also used a dry brush technique for her vest to give it a more leather look appearance. Her hair was created from cotton cording, curled, glued, gessoed and painted. I devised new joints for my doll using leather because I didn't want to stitch through the painting and make any holes in the fabric.
