The library where I work is closed on Mondays, so I had all day yesterday to work on my doll. It did take nearly the entire day to get her skinned, assembled, and sculpted, but she is such an amazing sculpture. She was worth every second!
I'm sorry the photo doesn't show much detail -- white on white is always tough -- but I am thrilled with her shape AND her face. The overall shape of her skull isn't quite as rounded as I'd like. If I *ever* attempt this VERY labor-intensive pattern again I will tweak the head pattern to give her a wider and deeper skull. Now that I have a clue to what I'm doing though, maybe next time won't be quite so challenging.
(I wish I had taken this as a class. Aside from the fact that I would love to meet Pam Grose, it would have been SO much easier to work with the designer instead of trying to puzzle it all out by myself.)
Nest step is gessoing and painting. I had been planning her costume as well, but her body is go gorgeous I might not want to cover it up, LOL!

I know the feeling about covering the body - mine just has a beaded bra and thong, LOL. The bra was actually just a piece of lace applique dyed and fringed! Your doll is coming along swimmingly - can't wait to see what happens when you paint her. Bravo!
Oh, she looks WONDERFUL! I didn't think she looked scary BEFORE! Just interesting & filled with character! After all that work, you definitely must want her to be a nude! LOL! Truly, she is so proportionate & lovely! I'm eager to see her completed! GREAT JOB, JUDI!
Great job Judi and what a difference. She is coming along beautifully and looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for this one.
I love the eyes on this one.. I have never done it with doll eyes like that.. nor eyelids.. it makes it look so much more lifelike. .I am with you on this - you need to show off her body - the attention to detail is amazing!
