Regency Doll!

A new Period doll, this pattern was also taken from a original period pattern but was scaled down to a 1/6 of the size, this pattern was really easy to make.

Although the pattern for the hat had to be made from scratch.....but you learn something new everyday, and i really enjoyed playing with the ribbons...............i sound like a school report XD

Newbie!!!!

This is a new dress from the same pattern, although the design, colours, and materials have changed, also i had to make some alterations to the skirt as last time it came up short.

This one was entirely sewn on the sewing machine, the lines are alot tighter and neater and alot stronger than the last one, as the last one was completely hand stitched.

She doesnt have a name yet, although she seems to have this gothic villain tudor queen thing going on........also looking to sell this one too.

Anne Boleyn!!

The title says it all, a 1/6 scale figure inspired by Anne Boleyn, the dress was hand sewn and was very very fiddly, but im quite proud of the finished product. As this is my first one, i cant wait to see what the next one turns out like.

I first got hold of a life size pattern, then measured the pieces to which i then scaled down to a 6th of the size. I drew out the 6th scale pieces then applied them to my fabric like you would a normal pattern, then it all went from there. I mostly enjoyed doing all the detailed bits like the beading....Enjoy!!!

Extras!

These pictures accompany my large canvas portrait for my exhibition.

Final show Artwork!!

This is me at my final show exhibition, my piece is called fragility, it represents the how fragile a woman is during pregnancy, and yes the pregnant woman in on the canvas is me, but I'm not and have never been pregnant. I just had some trouble finding a pregnant woman who was comfortable modeling for me. 

Catherine Howard.

Catherine Howard was Henry VIII firth wife. She married him at a very young age, 17 give or take, she was beheaded around the age of 19 for adultery. The accusations made against Catherine Howard were actually true, being married at such a young age, she did not understand the responsibility and duties of being a queen and was therefore immature. It is believed she did not know what she was doing, but she still met a grim end. She had no children by Henry VIII.
