Doll Maker's Diary, Part 4: Back In The Black

Doll Maker's Diary, Part 4: Back In The Black

Watching this year's Golden Globe Awards, where nearly everyone wore black, gave me an idea: What if all four of the characters I have made so far (or plan to) actually attended the ceremony? To that end, I gave each of them a black gown, but they would be paying tribute to victims of sexual abuse, rather than someone who died recently, as is customary in Western cultures. Here is how each of them would look.

First up is Tiffany Ellis, my first doll. Her dress is a recolored version of one I made for her earlier, teamed with emerald jewelry - a homage to the suffragettes who campaigned for women's rights a century ago, and often wore green.

Next is Michelle Hawkins. I gave her chunkier earrings and a diamond necklace, along with a dress which has a more voluminous silhouette and a slightly different neckline.

The next character is Katherine Meyer. Her dress is shorter and slimmer, and is in fact the simplest design here. You should expect to see much more of her in the near future.

Finally, the fourth and last character here, Jessica Burton, has the longest dress of all, and wears red statement jewelry - a logical decision given that red is her favorite color. Like Katherine, she will be making more appearances on this blog in the coming posts.

That just about does it for now, but in subsequent posts, expect to see other outfits for these characters (especially the last two). In the meantime, I'll reflect on yet another CSR round that didn't end well - stay tuned for details.
