I saw a rocking bunny online and decided to make my version.The bunny I saw had metal rockers.I do not weld so mine had to be fabric. Fun project.
Classic Cloth Dolls

She is done. This is the doll I was working on in the previous post.I think I will call her Marian Joyce. She is another doll made using my MJ pattern. All those dolls have M and J names. Finished March 9th 2024. Her white dress was from curtains from my mothers kitchen in the 1980's. Fabric faded but the bow pattern in the fabric didn't. I always knew I would find a use for it someday.

I have had a couple of false starts with her.
First off I forgot to do the messy mix on her and had done a acrylic base flesh color
So I did the messy mix and it did not make her head as firm as I wanted so I put a layer of rigid wrap on her head.
Basically I was starting over.
I then added a layer of modeling paste over the rigid wrap. That was put on with a paint brush then smoothed, and sanded.
Next I painted a base coat of oil paint.
The process was not my normal way but worked out ok.
Her head was not as smooth as I like but I am satisfied with her now that her face is painted on.
I had made her arms but find I do not like the hands on this pair of arms so I will remake them soon.
