2 of mine........... ( I am going to let Colleen post her's).
The photo's were a struggle because the face printed lighter than I planned.
Mine was a struggle.
I constructed the doll body without a formal pattern .
Then couldn't figure out how to attach the arms (thank you Dot !!).
And then there was the bosom issue........
And the butt -- how do you make a shapely butt?
But I learned SO much from this.
I have a new respect for doll makers.
And my new goal is to do a series of Self Portraits.
One of the struggles was actually putting my face ON the doll.
It was an enlightenment for me.
With all that faldarol .... I give you the first in a series:
Katie in the Eighties (complete with mullett)

She looks great & remember...you'll have me for almost 6 days in October so we can work on some of the doll form issues so you can have pretty shapely buttocks in the future! LOL
Oh... how I LOVE it! My first reaction was a big smile, I think you've done a great job. And a self portrait - a bold and brave move. I applaud you... BRAVO!
Thank you Dot and Grace!
Dot -- be careful, you have created a monster!
Thank you Grace -- I have a big smile after reading your compliments!
Oh, what a fun doll. I can believe that it/she was a learning experience but, very obviously, a good one.
Really amazing.
She's gorgeous! what a great job, construction and embellishment. And I love that you used your own face, too. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
