I am making good progress on Ghost of Autumn. Thought I found the perfect branch for a stand, but maybe not.
I did lots of freemotion leaves some on tulle, some on shiffon for her clothes, hair and trim. I created a fabric using die cut chiffon leaves and freemotion stitching for her underskirt, then attached leaves to it and also to her body to create a bodice. Still can't sew the arms in place until I can finalize her pose. She needs shoes.
Her belt is made from twigs and twine. This is the back side with the twine glued in place. I wove it through the twigs but wanted to make sure it would stay together.

Ghost of Autumn
I am currently working on a new doll, Ghost of Autumn. I took a reject head and did a clay/cloth over. Then I made a body using the one I designed for A Style of her Own. I made her I natural Southern bell. I wanted pale leaves all over the body and head so I dyed tissue paper, cut out leaf shapes with my sizzix, stamped them with archival ink then glued them in place with matte medium. I used pencils, pens and pan pastels (a first but liking them for this application!) to color the face. Now I am off to do some free motion leaves on sheer nylon, tulle, and wash away Solvy. I should be back on a week! LOL!
