Drafting

I got through drafting a new thinner female body and smaller head. I am hoping it will fit better with my image of the kind of art dolls I want to make. I also drafted a male body too. I will make the prototype this weekend hopefully and see how the pattern works out. The head is a revised pattern I already had and one that worked out well :) I am excited and hoping the hands are not to hard to turn. Those wrists are thin and so are those armpits! Gahhhh

Different Dollies

Well I have been brainstorming on trying to find a new body style. My goal is to make a very poseable doll out of cloth without sacrificing seamlesness but I guess I just have to deal with obvious joints. After a while its almost as if I dont notice them anymore. My inspirations are Tom Tichenors gorgeous marionettes from th 70's and Marina Bychkova's beautiful art dolls. I envy her factory method but would miss the fabric hands on approach if I went that route, although I do feel it to be almost inevitable. More later.....

I'm Baaaack!

After much searching I have finally recovered my passowrd on this account and now I can finally start blogging and keeping people up to date on my work :) Yay! Im off to buy a camera too...so yea :) Im excited to finally be ready to sell some of my work. As long as I can keep them well documented, I guess there is no reason to hang on to them :) Yay!
