Happy Halloween Mummy

Here's a new re-do on another Bratz doll...I've had the idea to do this for ages, and it's not as though I don't have other projects in my "to do" list, but I really wanted to have this done in time for Halloween, so here she is...I covered her face with matte medium, then painted her with white acrylic paint, and her eyes were drawn in with a couple of Zig pens (Zig Millenium 0.3 and 0.8)

 I tore a few thin strips of calico and used PVA glue to stick them in place, adding some acrylic paint in a random fashion  : )

And this is the family portrait, I hope you like my new addition to the family...Thanks for visiting and I hope your Halloween is a good one!

Second Tilda Cloth Doll

I made my second Tilda doll (using a pattern from THIS BOOK) over the weekend, it was a present for one of my nieces (she's 9 years old) and thankfully, she loved it, but so did her little sister, so I think I'll be making another one for Christmas LOL...

I forgot to measure her, but she's roughly 55 cms long, I drew in the facial features with my trusty Zig Millenium pen (O.3) drawing her lips and filling them in with MM's Glaze (Ruby).   I painted her slippers with the same colour...and added a RIBBON FLOWER from CRAFT QUEEN to trim her dress (adding a little KG to the center of the flower).    As always, the hardest step with making a cloth doll is the stuffing, but I got my lovely daughter to help me with the legs and the arms, and she did a great job after I explained that we didn't want too much cellulite showing LOL!   : )     Anyways, if you are a cloth-doll maker, I can highly recommend Tilda's books, there's always beautiful photos to inspire you, and although they are a little advanced for beginners, the patterns are fairly easy to follow...the hardest part is choosing the right fabrics from all the beautiful cottons available : )      I hope you've enjoyed the break from paper-related crafts, I know I did : )
