I've been trying for ages to design a character doll that was original to me....that maybe one day I could sell on etsy. I wanted something that I could modify in different ways and a character that was a bit crazy. Well, this is my IrisBlue doll (get it?)
I drew the face using permanent markers on fabric, I painted the buttons, used sari silk threads for her hair, quilted her wings and stitched beads and sequins on her wings and hair. I've drawn dozens of different faces and so am ready to make more!
Here you can get an idea of her size. She's 20cm tall. I meant to make her much smaller but something went wrong!

Oh, Linda, I'd say you did it! She is really cute. I love the striped stockings, her face, the wings....everything. How'd you paint the buttons? That idea is very intriguing. Fabulous job!
