Last Night Before the Artists Open House

Last night I started very last minute changes to some details of the doll's face. It has been challenging (in a good way) before the show. Originally I had planned vermilion and green to be the colour palette for this doll, but through the process the doll chose pink and purple...

Clotheswise I've only managed to make the doll's knickers so far. The upper half will be naked this week.

Sanding and Wig Making

Ready for Foundation Coating

After the long process of shaping the body parts to a satisfactory level, I then apply a few coats of modeling paste diluted with water as a foundation. 

I will be participating in the Wandsworth Artists' Open House early in October. I still have a lot to do to finish by then!

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.
