She breathes...

 I have always loved making dolls as a kid...I started out with doll heads..with woolen hair.
This is my third attempt at making a doll. Sculpting fabric is always fun...this is just an extension of that. The last pic is that of a friend helping to figure out the scale of the doll. Figuring packaging and a hand painted story book to accompany the doll. I intend to make many many many dolls in my life!!!

Mermaid from West Bengal

The head is made of hand painted terracotta. She made her way to us all the way from Kolkata, West Bengal. Since she is from the land of fishes...the mermaid seemed the best form for her to take. We have more heads..more characters will be coming to life soon. She is part of a limited handmade doll collectible range for people tree. She is 14" tall with the headgear. I somehow feel she is still incomplete..dont know why! I might be making her a nice stand so that she can stand and also a background ambience for her to blend in. Packaging and story also...lets see how it goes!

Dollies

Not really into very girly sketches..but I happen to have these from a couple of years ago. I do make dolls sometimes...It's a fascination I have.. For people who love dolls these two websites are really awesome.. http://dubuhdudesigns.typepad.com/
