A few weeks ago I received Patti Culea's DVD in the mail. I must say "I love it!" i have listened to it twice already! I have been a fan of her work for a long time and this is probably as close as I will ever get to taking one of her classes. There is so much information on this 5 hour DVD. It was worth every penny! The pattern for this doll was also included.
I recently purchased a new pattern by Jill Maas. Her name is Snowdrop and she is holding her friend Frosty. Her face is sculpted and colored with paint and pens and she is wired so she stands on her own.
I have admired Alma Stoller's work for a long time. She shared her technique for this piece in the Cloth Paper Scissors magazine some time ago. I was looking through some back issues and came across it....had to give it a try!
I have not made a doll in almost a year. With Halloween just around the corner, I thought I would make a witch. But, all through the process, she kept telling me "No, I am not witch". I guess she was right. But, it's about that purple hair!
I taught a class of wonderful ladies how to draw and color a face on fabric with watercolor pencils. I scanned and changed the size of a face I drew so it was the same size as he faces that were done in class. Now, I can show them what they can do with the beautiful faces they created!
