Bethany is done!

So here she is. I tried to hold back on the embellishments, to much can ruin a pretty doll, so I tried to be careful not to do that. Here are the full front and side views.

I made the covered button at the hip area, but resisted the urge to add beads to it.

Her little bag is made with a stretch velvet, trimmed at the top with the same thing that’s on her hipline and adorned with some bits of beading.

Around her head, I used some lace pieces cut from a larger piece of lace yardage. There are some pretty pink sequins but they don’t show in the picture. I made the necklace with a black teardrop bead, some soft metal bead embellishments pressed into the sides and glued on, then just added a piece of chain.

The wrap on her head is made with strips of the same fabric tied in knots and patiently glued and pinned around her head. At the end, I stitched on some delica beads, they aren’t immediately obvious, but in real life, they give just a touch of sparkle to her head dress.

When I did her face, I wanted it simple, so that’s what it is. Somehow to me, she didn’t require to much, and I think sometimes we tend to overdo. Simple is just a nice as intense. And that’s it. She’s done and ready to make her debut at the doll club meeting..
