Noella
is another new sculpture for 2006.
She has quite delicate features, and
seemed perfect for a Regency era costume.
Her
gown is made from batiste, in the typical
style of the era...high-waisted, short
sleeved, and a low neckline. The
overskirt was made from a wonderful
antique hankie that was as fine a piece
of fabric as you could find. It
has an interesting stitched edge, and
random embroidered flowers. I
lightly dyed it to coordinate with the
dress fabric.
The
matching bonnet is trimmed with roses,
feathers and lace. She wears an
antique lace shawl draped over her arms.
This doll was made using my regency
era legs, which have the perfect flat
slippers, which were then covered with
fabric.
