Another Re-Done Doll

Here is my latest re-done doll.  I gave her new limbs, using Dixie's IW pattern.  She also has a re-sculpted and re-painted head.

I painted her skin, facial features and boots with acrylics.  Then I painted hair with oils.

The hardest part about making this doll was the ruffle on the dress!!!  The doll was originally smaller and shorter, so the dress was too short for the re-done doll.  I scrounged around to find some tiny pieces of the original fabric and worked FOREVER to make that silly ruffle along the hem, to lengthen the dress a bit.  I hope that she's satisfied!
My daughter named her Eleanor.

  4. She looks like she could be Haley Joel Osment's little baby sister. (The boy from Sixth Sense?)

  5. She is quite lovely, as all of your doll are. The dress looks wonderful, so I hope you can see how well worth the effort it was to add the ruffle. :o)

  6. She looks great. :-) Ah, those dressmaking details that MAKE the dress but take a lot of effort! ;-)
