18th Century Lady in a Blue Dress

As promised, here are some pictures of the 18th century inspired doll I made for my step daughter. She is a bit shiny because of the glue I used when I made the papier mache. I'm still learning about papier mache and other materials so hopefully will be able to make some changes the next time I use papier mache.

Anyway, here she is - what do you think?

  2. Oh WOW.. she is beautiful! I love the detail with the wee little crown and I like her being a bit shiny. I would'a never guessed she was papier mache as the shine gives her a porcelain look. She is absolutely gorgeous.

  5. That is darling, Corrine. I love it. I, too, like the shininess. I have been using Gel Medium a lot more instead of other things and like the shininess. You do wonderful things, Corrine!
