A doll is born
How I created the Chinese Bride for Elaine
The head
The core is made by stuffing a round shape with wood wool.
Add cheek and forehead
Cover the face with batting
Front view of head
Add a final touch to the shape
The whole face is covered with skin
Attach head to body
Stuff body with wood wool
Add eyes and mouth
Made a sample dress with cotton
The bridle suit made of brocade satin
Completed…with silk buttons which took a long time to make
