Marie Antoinette

Finally she is here, the large Marie Antoinette that I've been working on some time now.  I made her for a dear friend of mine, and she has now left my house to live in her new palace!
She is appr. 22 inches (56 cm) and is all cloth, her hair is made of wool row and wool yarn.
The clothes are hand sewn and removable.
I had a great time while working on her, trying to figure out the clothing and yarn wig!
Now I move  on to my next project, a male from the same century, the Swedish world-famous; Carl von Linné.

Marie Antoinette inspired doll

Dear visitors! It's taken me some time to figure out how to make a 1800-th century wig-hairstyle. This is the third one, made from wool rowing, needled-felted in shape of hair rolls and then covered with wool-yarn. Maybe I'll add some jewellery, ribbon or something more crazy like they did in those days.
A friend of mine, has ordered a large Marie-Antoinette doll, standing,  and this is my 'study' doll.
As you doll makers know, it's great fun to find out how to solve things you have in mind for your doll.
