I made a paper doll for my niece Chloe to give to her friend Charlotte
with her birthday card (she'll be 10), so I had to make one for Chloe too!
I say paper, but the bodies are actually cardstock (2 layers stuck together),
then old book pages stuck onto the back.
The faces are moulded from air dried clay as usual
and painted with acrylics.
The features were coloured in with water colour pencils
and the blush is from chalks.
The clothes are scraps of wool, lace and fibres.
The hair I love and is from a couple of braided hair bands I
bought in a charity shop a while back. I cut the pieces off,
glued them to the card head then unbraided what wasn't stuck down.
Why can't I have hair like that!!
I wonder which one Chloe will keep for herself?
They do say blondes have more fun don't they!

Amazingly good looking dolls Sherry! Looks like they're all dressed up for a good night's out ;-) Their limbs are so elegant, too! These are definitely going to be far more popular than Barbie, LOL!! Hugs, Ira
