Frank and Elsa Are Back!

My Topsy Turvy Frank and Elsa doll is back from ADQ. Got a big box yesterday and was pleased at how carefully she/he/it was packed.

I missed them greatly! Now do I keep them or list them for sale?

A New Frank For Fall.

I made a prototype head for a doll I was working out a pattern for. The head didn't make the cut for that particular piece but it was a great head regardless so I kept it on my worktable. After I finally finished several big projects I thought this head deserved a body.

You've probably seen him chilling on my worktable in other photos. Here he is waiting for a body.

Tailoring his jacket. Deciding on the position of his arms. Hands still need to be sewn and stuffed. He's a tall guy.

Hands sewn and ready to attach the arms.

Frank's all done and is in my etsy shop. There is a link to him on the right side of this page. He's  22 inches tall and is a OOAK. He's made from eco felt and is entirely hand stitched by me using my own pattern. He has a loop sewn on his back so he can be hung on a wall.

Long Time Coming...

So I finally finished the piece that I've been calling the never-ending piece. I started it back in July and just finished it 2 days ago. I'm pretty pleased with it. It was a difficult piece of engineering for me because of the way I make my dolls. 

I present Frankenstein and his Bride as a Topsy Turvy Doll.

Frank's Done

Decided to go ahead an show each doll as I finish it so it I feel like I am getting things done instead this bogged down molasses feeling I've had lately. So Frank is done except he has one detail I need to add once I work out exactly what that is. He's the first to be completed in a series of dolls I'm doing that I just love and hope you'll like too.

He has button joints so his arms can be posed in many ways and his hips are jointed too so he can sit. I had a lot of fun making him.
