The last doll for the show/sale at ArtSea is this little lady. She is ready for her Christmas functions and is making last minute adjustments to her hat.
The fabric is velvet, a deep burgundy colour that doesn’t show up well in pictures. Lace around her neck and sleeves. It’s an adaption of the design by Becky Holloway. The original doll is a full doll on a base. I chose this style for both the look and for my time that was getting shorter and shorter.
She is attached to a basket as a base. It’s weighted for balance. The costume is adapted from the original (not so many details due to time constraints), but I’m very happy with her final look. Instead of a neck piece I used some pearls to make a necklace.
All in all, I think she came together really well and she’s at the gallery now waiting for visitors. Here she is.
