Ball Joint Development

After making the ball joints and their receptors on ankles, knees, thighs, wrists, elbows, sholders and neck, I temporarily connected all the parts with elastic to check the balance.

Glass Eyes

Having finished the basic modelling, I can now place the glass eyes (14mm that I have outsourced) into the head to help refine the facial details.

Liberty print dress (Gleeson)

I made a summer dress for myself with my favourite Liberty print of this season.
The pattern is from 'home couture' by Machiko Kayaki.

Ball joint

I have been working on the muscular -skeletal structure and the ball joints around the torso. Still loads to do.
Very happy that it stands by itself without any support!

The old school club in Battersea

I started renting the working space in the old school club at Battersea business centre from this month. This is far more productive than working from home!

Started modelling

At this stage just putting modelling mixture onto the polyethylene without thinking too much about the muscular-skeletal structure.
Thickness of this layer so far about 2mm.
