Being Peta

I made a birthday gift for my friend Angela.  She's a dear friend who comes around almost every friday night for our weekly World of Warcraft session.



This is Minimolt, Angela's main WoW avatar.  She took me about a month on and off to complete from scratch (I design all my own doll patterns individually.)  She stands about 33cm tall and is double skinned (cotton sheeting underskin with doll skin sewn over the top).  her face is hand painted in acrylics.  her staff and jewelry are made out of butchered junk jewelry bought from a stall selling sets of this stuff at really cheep prices.  I'm really hoping to get some more if the stall owner returns.  I don't make many dolls, although my computer monitor has a bad octopi infestation problem which I'll show you in another post.  Every so often I feel the need to make something three dimensional and this is how I go about it.  I don't sell them as I need to (a) be really inspired to make on and (b) I always customize my dolls to the individual they are going to be given to.  Plus my volume is pretty low.  I've made five dolls in total although i do have a number of plushies that keep creeping out of my imagination and into reality.  my daughter usually claims most of those though.



For those who are concerned... yes the comic continues but my muse stubbornly refuses to return to it until I get all these other things out of my system.
