New Doll

Posted in Art Doll, cloth doll, dollTagged , , , , Leave a comment

I got to give my friend Joanne her commissioned doll yesterday.  In the post holiday meal blur, I was unable to get a good picture of the two of them together but I hope to sometime in the next month.  Here is the doll from start to finish — you’ll recognize the start from the Potential post earlier this week.

This is an original hand-stitched doll is made from cotton cloth and mixed fiber hair.  It’s about 20″ tall with custom made clothes.  You can commission one through this website or through my Etsy shop for $75.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/JoyCorcoran

 

Potential

I love when I get my cloth dolls to this point and they are a form of potential.  I like to sit with them for a while and try to make see what is unique in their gesture.  Each doll comes out slightly different because they are hand stitched — the heads have a different angle and shaping, the limbs hang differently.  I can’t wait to see what happens when I start to paint features and add hair.
