I
am always trying to develop new and better techniques with my doll making so
that my art reflects more of what is in my mind. I haven’t been satisfied with the eyes I have
been making on my needle sculpted dolls and have been contemplating the subject
for quite some time. Last spring I came
up with a way to cover a wooden bead with cloth and insert it into the needle
sculpted head. It was a pretty cool technique
but it just didn’t hit the mark of what I saw in my head when I looked at the
finished dolls. So I set the idea aside
until quite recently when a new idea just popped into my head. The eyes on this doll are completely needle
sculpted in cloth. I may play with it a bit more before teaching the technique in
one of my classes.
If you are interested in taking a needle sculpting class I am currently teaching my online Flower Faeries class on AforArtistic. To find out more information and to sign up for it click on the following link to AforArtistic
