Estelle

Estelle is a travler. She travels by train, steamer or horse and buggy. Shes in search of lost souls. These poor souls have lost thier way and have found themselves going down the wrong path. Estelle helps to guide them into the right direction. Estelle loves her job.

Having been inspired by all the amazing doll artists I've come to know I decided to make a doll with a real cloth dress. With some help from a few books and the wonderfully talented Gail Lackey I sorta figured it out. I've always wanted to try this and the task just seemed so daunting. For the life of me I couldn't figure out our to make the bodice and arm holes having to be stitched right onto the piece. Well it took me a very long time but I think I figured it out...layers lots of layers to cover up those stitches:)

Anyway Estelle was the first and probably won't be the last as surprisingly I found the little stitches to be very calming and relaxing and I really enjoyed the process.
