shirt ... pyjamas?

Edward, although that cute shirt matches your trousers, it is not for you ...



I made it for Jess!

Getting ready for Artwey 2011 - opens 28th May!

Open Studio event, details here!

A snack for Jess!

not something we can get in the UK, so I had to go googling to see some - do you know what this is?

jess, the muppet doll.... head to toe!

so I gave Jess a tongue ...



and then I concentrated on her toes ...



and fiddled with some funky-foam and ribbon until Flip-flops appeared!



So now, if she wants to, Jess can have a little wander through the daisies, white I finish the rest of her wardrobe!

And Jess Chooses her clothes ...

"jeans and a plaid shirt please, oh yes - and purple flip flops?"

jess, the muppet doll....WIP... all together now!

It starts with a drawing, which becomes a pattern after some tweaks ... I do get things wrong sometimes - this shape made toes that were too thin!



so after starting again, Jess' feet look like this ...



and they were added to her little legs - later, Jess will get flip-flops to wear!



and, with her head on her shoulders, we can see Jess' bunches and those little star tattoos too!



Off to select her outfit now, Jess gives us a happy wave!

A little wave!

now jess the Muppet doll can twiddle her thumbs!



cute!

eyes done ! WIP muppet doll ...

next - a hair cut on those cute bunches!

WIP - pretty eyes!

jess, the muppet doll....WIP

Muppet Jess is getting some eyes - I started with the whites, and just popped in some pins so she didn't look too strange!



she also has 2 special tattoos, just like real Jess does!



I think she looks very happy !

Muppet Doll WIP

I often like to create 3D models nowadays to help me make patterns ...this follows on from my fursuit head making, where i had to fur a pre made shape, rather than stuff something the way you do when you create plush.



I have added paper 'ears' and drawn on where the pigtails and the star tattoo will go.



choosing from my stash of wool, for Jess' hair ...



and sewing hair onto yellow fleece, I see a parting appear!

jess, the muppet doll....

i pinned up a large piece of paper to make a sketch ... but then i was too busy probably making a nice veggie curry! So daisy, knowing that i was planning to Draw a large doll, got there before me!



Eventually though, I got it down ... just need to add some colours ...



next, I will also model a 3D head, but i have already chosen some skin and hair!
