Liberty Print Knickers (Osborne's)

I chose Osborne's (B) for my first pair of knickers to be made using this year' s Autumn/Winter collection from Liberty.
It's very autumnal here in London...

The size of this pair : Medium (UK size 12)

Final Modelling Stage

To avoid any cracks appearing on the surface I cover the body with gauze. I then apply a mixture of Artista Formo and wood glue over the gauze. This is the last chance to get the body shape right.

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.

I will be exhibiting one of my dolls as part of The Old School Club's display at the Makegood festival of culture, creativity and entrepreneurship.
  Old Selfridges Hotel, London

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!
