GINGER







Ginger is my newest project created for a luncheon in April, the Joint Meeting of Doll clubs in Eugene Oregon. The theme for the event is Hats Off to Madame and will be a tribute to Madame Alexander dolls.



I created a mold from a Madame Alexander look alike doll head and made a mask for a cloth over clay head. Then I designed a body to fit the mask.



I chose ivory doe suede for the doll's body as I wanted a porcelain look for her.



Ginger's dress is from vinage cotton print fabric and vintage lace trim.



She has really been a fun and challenging project!
