My main sources of inspiration in this project: I think I am going to change her legs a little and give her some feet, but apart from that it’s pretty much just trace and cut from now.Īnd just for fun, here’s the line up of rejects: Now I can play with the pattern – switching fabrics and giving her different hair… the fun stuff. It was a completely creative pursuit but not entirely enjoyable. I don’t think I have done anything really new in years so it was pretty hard work for me. Designing a new toy is not something I do very often. (I had to reconstruct it before I scanned it because it ended up being cut up as a pattern piece in the general frenzy).Īll I wanted to make was something appealing, something easy and something that I could look at and see that I have left my mark on. Here’s the final little sketch which I went from on Friday: But I have finally made a doll that I can look at and think “yep, that’s where I was trying to get to.” It’s been more like CUT and HACK, RIP and CURSE. A good part of the last week has been spent tinkering away with my doll prototypes.
