Art Doll-in progress......almost there!!!!

The last of my detail shots on this piece of work,little pointy-toed pixes boots adorn her feet ( and a fiddly time was had creating these beauties let me tell you!) I originally cut a set with gorgeous soft suede soles,but once they were made I wasn't happy with them as they seemed too weighty for the piece. These are much better,light and soft,in warm dyed cotton,with darling gold flower bead embellishments and teeny tiny sparkling metallic stitchery-designed especially to allow her to trip about on light and dainty toes!!
Don't forget to check back again tomorrow to see the full finished figure in all her glory!

Art Doll-in progress......and so it continues!

Another detail shot-hand made fabric rose,dyed and painted embellishes the back of her skirt............

Wings-detail shot...........wrapped fibers and wires with machine embroidery.
Just a few tasters-she is complete and will be photographed in full on my blog here TOMORROW! :)

Flower Pins!!

It's been a little quiet here this week-the photos here are by way of explanation! I have been very busy filling two gallery orders for my flower pins-which is GREAT news of course,to see businesses thriving and getting ready for the Spring season ahead! This is a view of the first order,soo to be flying to Tuscany ( wish I was going with them for a few weeks!) and the second order is now also nearly complete ( phew!)
Unfortunately that did mean that my beautiful art doll, which I have been steadily posting updates on, had to wait a few days for her shoes,poor soul-you cannot rush these things, as I don't want them to hurt her feet :) and they are a long and detailed item to make ( I did finish her wings,though-they will be attached last,pics to follow!) but I am on the case and will be posting her here along with gorgeous footwear very shortly! :)

The work continues!!! I also have just finished some beautiful wired and embroidered wings and have been machine-wrapping fine wires to create her hair-I envision some pretty wild curls and possible a bit of a 'Coolio' thing going on with the hat/hairstyle combo :)

The face has worked out quite well I think, I'm pleased with this!

the work continues-she now has some rather marvellous pantaloon style undies and her face is beginning to develop :)
