Introducing The Mad Hatter!

Tuesday, March 25, 2014 Chiara Venice Art Dolls 2 Comments

I am thrilled to introduce my newest member to my art doll resume "The Mad Hatter".
I am even happier to know that he has been snapped up straight away by someone who loves him as much as I do and will be on his way to Scotland to have tea with his new beautiful owner. I can imagine them having many "Un-Birthday's!!!" (insert me vigorously dancing the Futterwacken here LOL!!!!!)

Here are a few collages I put together that can also be seen on my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ChiaraVeniceCouture



I hope everyone thinks he's as MAD as I do!

I'll be working on a few more dolls shortly so I will post some progress pics as they start to progress.
Thanks for stopping by and joining me in my art. If you are interested in seeing some of my available dolls please visit my Facebook page or Etsy shop, links are on my About page :)

The Mad Hatter is taking shape!

Okay so I have had to start work on his CrAzY hairdo!

It is a tedious process as I've had to separate ALL the strands to get the individual threads to give his hair a slight frizzed look.
Then I had to create tiny little reels of thread to strap on him.
I hand made his hat with a cardboard core and covered it in material... then I glued and painted it using different techniques to achieve the textured unique look I was after.
Hat pins were created and the price tag made. All that was left was his Peacock feather, which I decided to be more artistic with and paint on myself using a plain white feather.
I designed and made his little boots just for him also :)
I will be launching the finished art doll tonight on my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ChiaraVeniceCouture so head over to view it and please LIKE my page while your there if you can! Thanks

I'm working busily on a new project... it's Mad, Mad, MAD I tell you!!!

Okay I think I'm getting into character a little too enthusiastically... but I have to say this little guy I'm creating just seems to have that effect on me.

Say hello to my work in progress The Mad Hatter!
