In late December, I finished another one of my interpretations of a Googly doll. She has flyaway hair, as you can see and is dressed in her scoot-around dress, with a book bag.
I made her for a trade with Artis Corwin, a talented dollmaker whose work can be seen on the Maida site. I used my own patterns for the clothing. Above is the Googly walking on her way to school, maybe passing by a dog. I like Googlies for their various expressions....
Below she is in her other outfit, her school uniform. I pleated the skirt so the green is on the inside pleats, and gave it a little pin as I remember my tartan skirt had one when I was in the sixth grade.
Her little bag and shoes I made of leather. I used Gail Wilson's pattern for the shoesies.
It was fun to do a doll trade with Artis.
