This
is probably my most popular workshop and is still going strong
after 4 years of teaching it. Best Friends was my Hoffman
Challenge doll, 2002. This is a 2-3 day workshop: the 2 day
workshop we make the doll only, and the third day is costuming
and accessories.
Techniques include water-color face painting, needle
sculpting, three jointing techniques, wig making, finger
articulation and lots of fun techniques for making the very
detailed color-coordinated costume and accessories including
her cat and knitting basket. The doll is 18”.
Finishing instructions are included in the class so students
who are unable to finish their doll will be able to do so at
home. |

ASTRA
TWO DAY WORKSHOP
These beautiful multi-media Goddesses are created with a variety of techniques. They are 18” stump dolls and the body has a wire armature. Students will learn to create their own fabric for the body with free-motion-embroidery as the base fabric, with layers of collage, decoupage, and Apoxy Sculpt with embedded crystals, Tyvek and fabric wrapped wire accents for a very dimensional effect.
The face is clay mask with which students will learn to use Pearl-Ex powders, Lumiere and metallic rub and buff paints. Each doll will be unique and students will be encouraged to explore their individual levels of creativity with this doll. No two dolls will be alike in this workshop.
Students will also learn how to create exotic hair for their Goddess with fancy fibers, fabrics, lace and yarns.
Other techniques include how to attach a stump doll to a wood base and making small articulated hands.
Two-day workshop will produce variations of the two dolls on the right; the doll pictured on the left would be a three day workshop due to the drying time for the decoupage and Apoxy Sculpt for the dimensional bodies.
