A Mermaid, a Witch, a Fairy and a Devil.

The title of today's blog, as you may have guessed, is about four new small art dolls I've made recently. I have also made some new Pixie Elves but that will be in the next blog post. 
Well my stock has been getting a bit low and I've not had huge amounts of time to create but recently I made an effort to get some new dolls made. 

First up is Rilla the mermaid, I changed the pattern on this one a bit and added a pipe cleaner / chenille stick into the tail fin and then sewed around it and added some veining. It worked really well and it also means the fins can be moved and posed more. I also wanted to add some lampwork beads to her and used them as bangles on her wrists, I think it worked really well.

Now I must introduce you to Bluebelle Amethyst Deamonne, she is this years winner of the most glamorous Witch of the year. I love making my witch dolls and this one I decided was going to be a bit more glam and bling than the usual witches I do. I had trouble with choosing her hair colour but the white merino wool looked the best.

So next is the fairy doll and she is called Cassie and I love her face, she's turned out very serene and demure. I used the last of my favourite shot taffeta for her body and teamed her up with some beautiful shot blue chiffon. Oh and not forgetting her wings which are lace butterflies trimmed into wings.

And last but not least we have Lucy, as she likes to be known, her full name is Lucinda Princess of the underworld and regions of Hell and daughter of Lucifer.  This doll has been stuck in my head probably since last year, I was going to make her for halloween but time was against me as usual. But here she is now and I have a few more polymer horns left, including Unicorn horns, so there may be another little devil one day.

All of these dolls will be available in my Etsy shop sometime next week but first the have to go to a Masquerade Ball, aka my next 48 hour show in the Artist Limelight group on Facebook.

I'm off now to write a blog post on the new pixie elves ready to publish next week so I'll see you soon.
Until Next time
