The Milkland Bandit

February 01, 2009

I've been working on this new Milkland inhabitant for the last few weeks, and I'm really excited to finally show her to you.

If you look at my author-photo to the right, we certainly are two of a kind!

She's a completely refurbished vintage doll, and I really wish I had taken some photos of the "before" (I always, always forget to take "before" photos, I think it requires a foresight I just don't possess). She was quite unfortunate. Floofy red hair with puffy bangs...ugly purple dress, etc. But I saw some potential in the beautiful sculpting of the face, and so here is Isobel the Milkland Bandit doll.

Of course, her mask comes off to reveal her gentle face.

Her scalloped cape is fully removable, too...

I sewed her into her dress by hand, though so she's not coming out of the white + red striped frock or pinafore any time soon!

I hope your weekend is treating you well (mine is!).
I'll be back before you know it.
