I finally feel like I'm making some progress with my latest batch of dolls, even though it's been ever so slow. But almost all the parts have been made and varnished and the assembly line i underway.
Some dainty feet and legs with real stockings...
I came up with a new technique for hands and am finally very happy with how they've turned out. It's very time-consuming, but worth it, I think.
The heads are still missing their faces (spooky!) because out of the most recent batch of eyes I made, only one turned out well enough to use. I'm going back to the glass studio this week to make more; I have to remind myself that it's okay to be bad at something in the beginning and that I will get better with practice, but I'm frustrated that I have so little control over this medium.
My translation class has turned out to be rather grueling, but I'm hoping to have these ladies ready in early December...gotta go string some legs together!
