Here are two more dolls in progress. I created the pattern, cut out doubled muslin and cotton fabric and machine and hand stitched these two little lovelies. I painted the eyes last night. I decided to keep the focus on the eyes and make the mouth and nose very simple. For me this harkens to the Waldorf ideal a bit, where their dolls have neutral, primitive faces to engage the imagination. The eyes go beyond primitive here, and certainly indicate personality, but I don't think that's a bad thing, in this case.
I think these dolls must be friends, even though they have very different personalities. Originally I was making one doll as a birthday present for a little girl I know, and then I figured I'd make two. I'm torn now, as I'm thinking I'd like to send them in to see if they might get published in Stuffed or Prims. I might just have to make some more with the same pattern.
I'll post more pictures when they have hair and clothes :).
