I got a new doll a while back and decided to reimagine her as a Wonderland character. She's not an exact character, more "Wonderland-esque". :D I'm still waiting on some things before I can finish her up but this is the doll I started with:
And this is what I've done so far:
I sanded her original make-up off and carved her lips, nose and philtrum. I then used acrylics, chalk pastels and watercolor pencils to give her a new face up along with adding a new wig. I also altered a pair of her eyechips with book pages and acrylic paint.
I decided she would be a "Hatter's Apprentice" of sorts and so I altered this little hat with bits and bobs from Gauche Alchemy:
Every good Hatter needs their own Dormouse so I commissioned Christy from Dots Dashes and Doodles to create this sweet needle felted Throwaway Pet. :)
This has been a fun project to work on, I've been really thinking about ways to combine my love for dolls with my love for mixed media and getting my craft on. :)
Wow, I LOVE what you've done to her! I haven't a clue about how you'd go about sanding off make up and re doing it all, and her eyes - her eyes are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteFunky little hat and felted dormouse too :)

Oh my goodness,
DeleteYou did an amazing job on the face. She is hauntingly beautiful and very Wonderlandish. I cannot wait to see her when she is complete.
