Doll Maker's Diary, Part 3: Sweet Sunshine
After creating Tiffany, my first Azalea's Dolls character, I realized that I wanted to create another one. Having already made purple the color of choice for my first "doll", I turned my attention to the opposite side of the color wheel - yellow, to be precise. This second character, whom I shall refer to by the name Michelle Lee Hawkins, is Tiffany's close friend.
Above: A card for my second doll, Michelle Lee Hawke - Tiffany's best friend. Here is how she would look in a bright yellow dress.
I gave Michelle dark skin and a warm complexion, as a counterpoint to Tiffany's cool, pale skin tone, and set it off with yellow garments such as the strapless dress shown above. To complete the look, I added gold jewelry, as though to make it look like she is radiating endless sunshine all around her. In addition, she would most likely have a sanguine temperament - extroverted and outgoing, in contrast with Tiffany's melancholic temperament, which is more introverted and conservative.
Beyond these first two dolls, I have two more in the pipeline. Stay tuned - these two are meant to complete the four-temperament ensemble I have been planning for a while.
