Meet Bernadine

Here's my third attempt at creating and dressing a doll - Bernadine. She's porcelain and I ordered her from Fashion Dolls in Miniature. However, I used my own material and made decisions on the draping and dressing myself. I used some of Dana's tutorials to guide me through the step-by-step process. The French hood idea came from here. I think I"ll attempt to make the next French hood from FIMO clay, as I found the tiny pearls and gold beads are very delicate and I had some problems keeping them attached to the cardboard.


Bernadine - 5.75 inches tall

    Hello Kim,

    There is so much detail in Bernadine. Is she on a little stand?

    Happy days.
    Bev.

    Well isn't she just elegant! That purple fabric looks so touchable though I'd be afraid to since she's so tiny! Beautiful job~ :D
