Description
Got one last art doll done for my local fair table and all! Here is y new Halloween Doll - The "Lady of Webs" !! She is a stump doll that stands about 19" tall. Her arms and fingers are wired so she can be slightly posed. Her out fit is comprised of a spider print cotton, spider web netting, and sheer spider web organza along with various laces, trims and ribbon.She is holding a lone spider on a "web string" from her right hand and has 4 other little spiders on her person! She is wearing a simple felt hat with sheer spider web organza and gemstone spider web. Her hair is a combination of flocked white yarn and black fuzzy yarn rolled into a loose up do. She also has a small web design under her right eye. Face is hand drawn and colored with a mix of gel pens, watercolor pencils, micron pens and actual makeup.
I was so worries I was not gonna get her finished in time but I really pushed myself and got her finished in just under 3 days!

*drools* this is so amazing! I tried giving a doll fingers.. even with turning tools I couldn't turn them inside out, the fabric just wouldn't go without puckering!

Thank ya so much! Yeah - it has taken me years to get fingers looking right on my dolls! And most times I have to make 2-3 sets just to make sure

So I shouldn't feel bad that my first attempt looked like a mutant

hahaha - naw! The first few times I started making individual fingers I had a habit of poking through the fingers with either my turning tool or the stuffing tool - so not fun!

I stared making cloth dolls about 5 years ago - plushies about 3.5 years ago. My very first doll was a geisha for my 8 year old at the time
as for the plushies Β I fell in love with all the ones here on DA especially those by AshFantastic and pheleon - it was those 2 that inspired me to try my hand at it as well! And now I am constantly striving to be better at my plushies cause of people like LadyoftheSeireitei , FabledStitches and so many more!Β
