Good Morning all you internet lovelies,

I do hope you had wonderful weekends.

Today I thought I’d show you the doll I made for The Makers
Medley Challenge for March, which was titled ‘Strange and Unusual’.

I must admit to being a little stumped to start with, I
really want this group to push me out of my comfort zone, but with joining the group late
in the month and having quite a lot on already, I didn’t really have time to experiment
the way I wanted to for this.

I have been wanting to do a little more with paperclay, and
see how it can be added to cloth dolls, so I hit on the idea of this little
princess who is an elf fawn, with large curly ears and golden antlers. To give
strength to the antlers I stated with wire and wrapped it in the clay and I’m
quite pleased with the results. I still didn’t think she looked all that
strange and unusual and so added a fairy godmother to watch her and what better
thing to watch than an eye, so Blinkie was born (right on the last day of the
challenge to be honest). I think I might add eyelids with arms and legs to
Blinkie, she may become a whole range of dolls, what do you think?

Next month’s topic is Angels (dark or light), so I intend to
get a little bit further out of my box with that one. Don’t forget to follow us
on Instagram to see the grand reveal on 16^th April, when we all post
our dolls at the same time.
