Lovely Lady with her little Witch Character doll~OOAK


A repeated buyer of my dolls had requested that I make a witch doll for her mom who always loves to sit outside on Halloween day to give treats to the kids. I received a photo of this lovely lady who will be 83 years old next week. She holds her little witch named Clemencia (which is also her name.) They look so adorable together!!!! Thanks Maria for sending the picture and allowing me post it here for all to see. :o)

Alabama Baby Repro Doll~Cloth over Clay~OOAK




Thanks to Deanna Hogan's (blueherondolls)cloth over clay tutorial, I was able to create this adorable one of a kind doll! She measures 18 inches tall and made of muslin fabric. The head is made of polymar clay and covered with a cotton knit fabric. Ears were applied and the head was gessoed and sanded a few times, then painted with acrylics. The hands have attached thumbs and were gessoed and painted. The legs were also done in the same way as the arms. They have painted on stockings and shoes. The painted areas were sealed with a matte sealer.

I made her outfit using vintage old fabric. The fabric colors were slightly faded in some areas which makes this doll look vintage. Perfect outfit for this little gal. Her pantaloons are trimmed in lace to match her dress, hat and pinafore. All clothing are removable. She is still for sale on etsy.com
