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.
