Challenge Doll...................

The magazine Art Doll Quarterly conducts a doll challenge in each issue. The girls over at Cloth and Clay have a group who support each other in working towards the creation of a challenge doll. The current challenge is to create a shelf sitter doll. This is my shelf sitter in progress:

Head sculpted in polymer clay

Painted, antiqued and attached to body

Jointed

Body wrapped in sari silk and skirt of vintage laces

Bodice of vintage silk and velvet flowers

Close up

Now only her hair and wings to go. Waiting on some rusty wire items to arrive for her wings and I need to make some decisions for her hair.

Weekly Workspace Roundup.............

This was the view of my crafting table last Monday and unfortunately with the happenings of this week, the view hasn't changed:

Not much has happened, although the little doll does now have some trousers!! My shelf sitter challenge doll had a costume test run and I have sculpted a couple more heads in polymer clay.
Hoping for a more productive crafting week....................
