This doll was made for Mary Tressler´s Spring challenge. The rules stated that her dress was to be made with flowers (no fabric), some beads, and that rain was to be incorporated somehow. When I received the pattern, I enlarged the .jpgs to fit a sheet of paper. While I was waiting for the pattern I draw some drafts, and thought about making her a Goddess, whose tears would create the rain |
|
In this doll I used for first time an stretch fabric (Windsor Comfort). It was a bit hard to sew the hands, the first pair broke, but the second ones turned out well. When you stuff you see the advantages of this kind of fabric.

|
Its dress is made cutting fabric flowers, and embroidering the steams.
For its jewels. I used beads and small nails used for scale ship construction.
For the headdress I used some funky fabric and a piece of an old earring.
|
The earring is embellished with beads and a necklace chain, that goes to her hands. The rain that comes out from her eyes is made with plasticnails embellishments and naylon thread. |
|
To sculpt her face and body I used the instructions of Mary Tressler´s Home page : Uncommon folk
After she was born, she just went to a trip to her motherland India, where she is called Varunika. She sends us this picture with the promise of sending a few more. Take care dear Varunika. |
