I was unable to sleep well last night. Too many thoughts going through my head (why did I commit my self to doing so much this fall?). What better thing to do at 3am than pull out a random box of bits? I found some fibers, pins and needles, pens and pencils and nylons. This seemed like a perfect opportunity to try making a doll out of nylon fabric. I've been meaning to do that for a while but haven't made time. I headed through a dark hallway, half fell down the stairs to the basement on a search for the fiberfill and made it back up to the living room without waking anyone but the cats. The cute little head that resulted from the next few hours of work is 1 inch in diameter. It has a needle sculpted face, detailing with Micron pens and Coloursoft pencils. Her hair is a beautifully soft and frizzy auburn Tibetan Lamb. Very excited over finally using that, it's been around for a while, waiting for the right doll. You see her bodiless head laying here in a vintage handkerchief that will become her dress. I haven't quite planned how she going to go together yet, but I know she will be completed very soon.
