Painted Doll-part 3, clothing

I'm hoping that tomorrow will be the unveiling of the painted doll, she really did not take a lot of time to make and was fun. I'll be doing another with the alterations from the things I've learned, until then I'm winging it! You can make out a bonnet in the above picture, it took a looonng time to decide about lace but in the end, I did not use any. :(

I should tell you she is about 18 inches tall, even at that though her arms would put any body builder to shame! They really show with the slip shift I decided I wanted, and so on....

This is the outside fabric of her dress, I'm holding the final picture until tomorrow when I'm finished with painting her. I still have one technique to try...that's the aging look with the wood stain, should I risk it? I might, just may, I don't know.

Here is a "wet" photo of her shoes. I don't paint in the trompe l'oeil style and I'm not happy with her feet but again, it's one of those things I'd change about the pattern. I tried a "worn" leather color of the shoes under the main color, then I blotted. Didn't work that well.

As always, sign and date your work. Until tomorrow. C&G Design
