Some of you might remember me mentioning dabbling with doll making on my last post. I showed my first attempt with the devil doll. Well, while working on my teapots and luminarias
I needed a little change of pace so I started a new doll. A skeleton doll I thought, simple enough.
Then I started playing with clothes patterns and settled on a Gothic 1890's clothing that I could have some fun with. Of course that meant a bustle so I tackled that feat with some minot adjustments.
On I went with the jacket, that's were the trouble started. I knew I was in trouble when I started dreaming about simplifying the pleating, seams, ruffles etc.
I worked out most of the kinks but still along way to goes! I was planning on starting the skirt and said, " wait a minute I gotta get back to my painting. It's been a two day detour!"
So back to the brush for awhile and the skirt goes on the back burner for now, but keep a look out she may return at any moment.

OMG! Jorge, this is gonna really be something special!
For many years, I did costumes for the theatre...I know exactly how easy it is to get sidetracked and work on small details for hours and sometimes days.
But, so far, you've done a really amazing job. Are you sewing that costume, or hot gluing it? Did you draft the pattern, or is it a published pattern you're following?
I can't wait to see her as you do more work on her ... she's going to be a knock out.
And now you've got me all twitchy to start Day of the Dead stuff!
WOW, Jorge, she's looks amazing already! I can't wait 'til she's "back on the front burner" !!!
Jorge...you are blowing my mind! I am amazed by this piece....I am in love with your work. I hope you will keep us posted on its progress and let us know how or if you plan to sell it!! I love the bustle and pointy shoes!!!
Wow!
Happy creating....

Thank you all for the lovely comments and encouragement. They are much appreciated.
Tristan I am sewing it, the pattern is adjusted from a costume book.
I went through that precise nightmare last year...good luck!
I am in awe of you seamsters!..... Sculpting and painting is enough for my brain ~ wish I could go there, but it's too scary...
Can't wait to see your finished skelly chick!
Good luck Jorge....
