Again with the dolls

I have doll number two in the works, and she's pretty ambitious. I didn't follow a complete pattern (more like putting together various pieces of separate patterns and modifying from there) and have had to rip apart and redo more times than I care to count. She's had three different sets of legs... poor girl.


This is Harriet (well, prototype #1 of Harriet). I'm not very pleased with her face. It's a fine face, don't get me wrong, but it didn't turn out as I envisioned it would. She's a bit more serious looking than I wanted and her eyes too far apart. (Embroidery on a partially stuffed doll head is hard! You can't just erase the eyes because they're not quite right...) Still, she's a lovely little doll, and I think she deserves some clothes. A pink dress with poufy sleeves and a white pinafore perhaps? Oh, and she'll get a big bow in her hair. That barrette is mine and just to hold things in place for the moment.
