Scary Clown Doll

Yesterday I finished my ugly clown doll except for figuring out some way to put a label on it. I like the vintage green pompom trim I used on the body suit.  I got that at a thrift store when I was visiting my daughter in Atascadero. I feel good putting these abandoned bits of trim to use.

Then at an SCA rapier tourney on Sat. I took a 'how to make a fabric button' class.  I used my button as one of the eyes (the black one). I love the flower buttons on the hat and body.  I got those at Beverly's fabrics in SLO in a bag of mixed buttons. I'm working on a Vlog for Youtube of the doll making from yesterday. Maybe it will help someone make their own doll.

Gourd Art Doll with Green Cape

I made this gourd art doll a few years ago. Her hair is natural colored wool roving. Her body is made of wire. I crocheted her cloak.  Each gourd doll is one of a kind. Some day someone will fall in love with this doll and buy it. In the meantime she just hangs around with me.
