Decided to have another go at making a doll last night! So this is Harry my new fisherman!!! Here is how he started out! Just some fimo a cork and some pipecleaners! I really need to get some proper wire but the furry pipe cleaners work quite well and they provide some padding. I just double them up so they are stronger. Need to get my other half on the wine more often as the cork is a great body lol its just the right size! he took me about 3 hours last night and at one point I got stroppy and scrunched all the clay up and had to start again! But I'm pleased at how he turned out.
And here he is all painted and bearded with his clothes on!! Have to say a huge thanks to Deb who knits the jumpers and hats as they are just fab!!!!
I'm still not so good at the eyes yet, I def need more practice but he looks friendly and human so thats a start lol!!
Bobs dog Barney seems to like him so thats a good sign!
This is a little dark but I love the table showing in the background in Lavender Cottage.
All he needs now is a fishing rod with a nice big fish on it so that will be todays project!!!
I like it, the face is adorable and I think his eyes are ok..I think I'm going to try a small doll too just to get my feet wet :)
