Finally finished!

Sylvie's Dolly

Covering up boo-boos

I finally finished the dolly I started in Sylvie’s class.  I made her into a decoration instead of a bracelet.  The sleeve’s are different from the ones we learned to do in class too.

I did have a few problems with the neck, mostly because I didn’t measure how far around it was first.  So the neck didn’t fit in the dress.  Which meant I had to add around the neck, which gave her a really lumpy neck.  So I covered it all up with bead loops, and now you can’t tell at all!

I also had to redo the arms because I didn’t measure right for the hands.  Starting to see a theme here? :)   I think next time I will measure better.

Overall, she turned out really cute.  However I am not a cutesy person, so I think I’ll be making some skull beads to try the beading techniques with next time.

    Nice job of covering boo-boos we wouldn’t have noticed anyway!
    Cool technique! Can’t wait to get a look at her up-close!

    Jo,

    She turned out great!! I have the same lumpy neck problems quite often… which is why my pieces are embellished OVER-THE-TOP…. when all else fails… EMBELLISH!

    I am SO glad you were able to come to the class. I really really enjoyed getting to know you!
