Online Cloth Doll Challenge sponsered by Judi's Dolls...
and Doll Net Market/ FODC....
I signed up for it and ordered the pattern " Wooden Doll Reproduction "designed by Judi Ward.
Judi designed the pattern after seeing a large wooden doll in a Museum in Germany. This doll, possibly used a mannequin, was dated circa 1530 ! I was very intrigued and could not wait to get started. The result was that I decided to make a mother using one pattern version and
then reduced the second pattern version featuring a shoulder plate, for a girl child.
The process of making the wooden doll from fabric was totally amazing...using Gesso, acrylic paints, Elmers Carpenters Glue and finally brown shoe polish produced my version of the "Mother" wooden doll .
