Doll Body Shapes

It's interesting to see how different doll shapes can be.   This pic doesn't show it that well, but on the left is a doll body using my new pattern I made for the Googly dolls, and on the right is a doll using Gail Wilson's Columbian doll pattern. 

Quite different, although the same length.

I discovered wooden eagles at Michael's.  Yay!  They would go with the Columbian doll.  

 

I painted them with Martha Stewart gold metallics paint, it goes on kind of goopy.  Not a thick paint. 

Columbians are Fun!

I am making my second Columbian doll using Gail Wilson's pattern, and got the body stuffed today. 

Gail's Columbian doll pattern is fun to stuff.  The body shape is sweet.  For stuffing I used a chopstick with the end sanded to a rounder tip, and also made a large cuff at the bottom and just used my fingers.  I stuff with bamboo fiber.
