There is a trail of fairy dust everywhere and the culprit is a little cheeky fairy by the name of Tinkerbell!!!

I'm so excited to finally have my Barbie Princess inspired OOAK art doll completed!!!!
She was a lot of work and took some time to create but I'm so very happy with how she has come alive.

I love her beautiful gown and fancy shoes, her gorgeous tiara and regal hair and most of all her doleful and innocent big blue eyes!

Without further ado here she is...Princess Kaley Paige Cooper





Well I really hope you have enjoyed watching the process of making my Princess art doll and like the finished product! I'd love to her your comments and feedback :)

A new OOAK Art Doll Princess in the making.

Wednesday, April 16, 2014 Chiara Venice Art Dolls 0 Comments

I have been working on a Semi-Custom order recently.
It is a Barbie Princess inspired OOAK Art Doll and was chosen for such a beautiful and heartfelt reason.
 A Grandmother is having this special art doll custom made just for her adorable granddaughter's 1st birthday as a memento from her and to symbolize her love for her.

This lovely lady wanted something extra special to give to her granddaughter, something that could be admired and treasured as she grew older and would always be able to look at with fond memories throughout her life, to know that her grandmother loved her with all of her heart and still will even when it is time for her to leave this earth....

Such an extraordinary sentiment in which I am so humbly honoured to be chosen to be apart of!
______________________________________________________________________________
Here is the beginnings of the process.

• Cutting out my own pattern, sewing it together, stuffing and then joining it all to create the body of the doll. 

• Next creating customised clothing patterns to fit her body.

•  Sewing up her many layers of raffles for a luscious underskirt!

• Putting the ballroom gown together. 

• Now starting to add some tiny beaded accents to the bodice.

Here is a little sneak peak of this Barbie Princesses darling face.
Hand drawn and painted freehand all by myself :)
Hope you will stay tuned to see her come fully together.
More wip pics are to come!!!

A trail of fairy dust!

My little princess Chiara's 3rd birthday has come and gone and as a special gift she requested I make her, her very own Tinkerbell.

Sooooo......I have been surrounded by fairy dust... everywhere as my own interpretation of a Glitz & Glam Tinkerbell took shape and came to life!!!

Although she was completed and was the "cake topper" for Chiara's cupcake stand she is still a work in progress as she does still need some tweaking and am planning on adding some more Glitz & Glamour to her costuming to have a more of party feel.

Here is my gorgeous birthday girl with her new favourite doll as it is at the moment.
More updates to come but I hope you all like her!
