Hey there Doll face...
Just to show progress... I have added a little more embroidery to the trouser section... And of course I have made a start to develop the face... At the moment she seems to have rather a startled look but I hope to soften it with a little more play... I want to add more shaded definition but think I shall wait until I have assembled her... I have hand stitched her features as I wanted to achieve a 'folksey' handmade feel... I am not sure about the stitching around her headscarf - my intention was to go back and add french knots above the blanket stitch... I also want to somehow alter the line of her scarf to break that solid line - either that or add something to the points of the 'pinked' line - perhaps beads might do it... Buttons or stitching to her shoes should complte that She also has another arm and hopefully next weekend will see the whole thing coming together...
