A new OOAK Art Doll Princess in the making.

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!!!
