Peony Rose
from designer Allison Marano's
Uilleanne pattern
Peony Rose is a
fairy princess whose
task is to hang the proper colors
in the sky when the people
need to see a rainbow. |
Peony Rose is kneeling
and has stitched joints. Her hair is made
of
fancy yarn that is stitched on. Her clothing is
an illusion, made of two pieces of organza draped
and stitched directly on the doll. Her underpants
are made of two peony petals.
Her fingers are fully articulated and her face is needle
sculpted and painted with colored pencils and acrylic. |
A unique feature
of this doll is that she
has inset clay eyes that
I made, baked, painted and
inserted in the cloth face following
directions in the pattern;
Tiny applied eyelids hold in the eyes
and her tiny eyelashes are made of chiffon.

This is Donella,
a 32 inch Day of the Dead
doll made from
a pattern by
Sherry Goshen.
Information about the
Day of the Dead festival
can be found
here .
|
Donella's face is
decorated in the style
of the skulls on her dress
fabric--the style in which
the sugar skulls made for
the festival are decorated in
icing. This skull is made
of paper clay and is sealed,
glazed and painted with
acrylic paints.
