My 3 Izannah Walker web-workshop dolls are nearing completion - they now have pantelettes, chemises and slips. I've signed and numbered each doll, along with the year, on the bottom of their "chest plate" on their backs. They are getting a bit tired of being called #1, #2, #3 - they are a bit too old-fashioned to find any similarities with Star Trek amusing! I think the first (far left) looks a bit pensive, maybe a touch sad. The second looks like she is thinking some happy thoughts and the third looks like she is thinking of some very grand, intellectual thoughts. It is fun to see how these all emerged so differently. When I do this project again, I think I will focus on only ine. While doing three has been a great learning experience, I do think I would have taken more time to get her just right. Three was more tiring. Somehow, not one of these dolls ended up looking straight ahead. I guess they are mirroring my busy, distracted mind, finding it hard to just concentrate on what is right in front of me!
So, they would like names...what do you think, should I name them alphabetically? Agatha, Betsy, Clara...?
Know any other good, old fashioned names to suit these young ladies?
Onto dress making!
