Silk Stump Doll

Silk Stump Doll

This is a stump doll started for a Dolling Dames Project which I finished at home. I learned a lot at the Sat. playday last week-end. We learned more about how to make hand, wings and how to draw and color faces. The silk material came from Vietnam thanks to Tom our son-in-law who made a trip there for work. She was another doll which I struggled with and felt she was not going to work out but here she is and I think she turned out well.

Recent Dolls

I recently tried dying fabric except I dyed after the doll was stuffed and don't think that is the most appropriate way to dye! If I make mistakes I just feel like I can do something with it to fix it. Seems like that is how I work. Ha! I sometimes feel like maybe I should just give up on the doll and then she turns out to be a favorite. This is a Patti Culea Pattern and I used Dye na flow and dyed the fabric and body of the doll.
