Herstory: Clarissa was
made as a gift for a special friend for her 50th birthday. Clarissa was the
centre piece at a 1920's party held to celebrate the
occasion. |
The Critics: Since all the pics are rather small,
its difficult to appreciate the work that had obviously gone into this
little lady the draped satin toque/snood and face are just discernible
and Robyn has given her doll a very real face this takes
either lots of practice or a natural talent! Are those freckles across her
cheeks? Lots of people opt for a cartoon face but I, for one, have a fondness
real faces.
The boa covered the lines
of the body making it hard to tell how the dress and body were designed .
Id like to have been able to say more, but I really couldnt tell
much from the photos.
Robyn, I cant help
feeling that time spent on trying to get slightly larger shots would have been
well worth it! (I know the composite photo was only 29KB which is a fast load,
but 2 photos of the same size would have been OK and 50KB is still a small size
for a quality shot) Open her arms out and give us another look at
her!
