Hello finally finished Marie late last night! This doll was so much fun to create, she took many hours, too many to mention, but well worth my effort. I am so happy with how she turned out. She was created over my unique armature, which has 9 points of articulation. Her upper torso, head forearms and hands, and lower leg and feet have all been sculpted. She is dressed in raw silk, cotton, and silk lace. I hope you like her, and will check out her auction on ebay! Fairy Blessings, Christel
I wanted to show Marie with darker hair too, The blonde wig was included in her sale, but she traveled as a brunette!
She is fantastic!!!!!

WOW! WOW! YES! Christel, hello there dear one and Nowhere citizen! So good to see your work here! Do you know Rhissanna's work? She also made a doll as such in the summer that blew me away, as THIS ONE DOES! Bravo my friend, and thank you for coming to visit me! I hope you are well? I've been busy with a new job, but thank God for it! Enjoy the subtle beauty that only God can give you in your heart! LOVE! Anita
ReplyDeleteHi Christel, She is beautiful! love her with the dark hair too.Amazing detail in her dress!Love all you create, Sincerely Jonny
ReplyDelete...and this DOLL is so exquisitely made that as I see her again, I see even more detail on her. She truly has a Rococo style to her in every way my dear! Thank you so much for enjoying my post. I'll tell ya something...for as simple as my words are to me, sometimes I think it's simply God that gives any of us artists the right words, strokes of paint or agility of hands (in your case) to create things that move us.
ReplyDeleteBless you dearest Christel, and enjoy the rhythms of God's earth. Anita
Oh yes Christel, I see what you mean.. I think she is beautiful as a blond or a brunette.. Such enormous detail in this magnificent piece..
ReplyDeleteLove and blessings dear friend,
