It occurs to me that I haven't made a doll in quite a while. I just haven't had the inspiration to do so. I'm thinking that today I might have to start working on one. That involves me heading down to the fabric store because I know I don't have what I need on hand. I doubt they're still holding that sale they were the other day. Anyhow... I'm looking at perhaps polar fleece. I was also finding amusement in a sheer shimmery fabric. I like doing over lays. I was just scouting things out the other day. I didn't buy anything.
So let's end the lethargy and actually make something.

Tentacled Chaos
I'm currently in the process of finishing one of the two dolls I have in progress. Here I'd been thinking about how I was going to keep it from falling over. While trying to figure this out, I had laid the doll down. I realized that this was the way it should have been all along. I now don't have to think about how I'm going to keep it standing up. The second thought I had was this: why do most of my dolls have tentacles?
Legless Chaos
The funny thing about working free of patterns and not really having a set idea in mind when you start working... I had been busily sewing the midsection. At one point I had to redo it because I sewed the wrong side out. It happens. I'm working and working and working... Then I realize something- there is no place for arms or legs. Oops. It caused me to smirk. It's a good thing I didn't have solid plans for what I plan on building. I'd probably have been really upset.
Currently I'm working out how best to work with the roving I have. I had plans of putting it for 'hair'. We'll see.
Dolls of Chaos continued...
Okay, I found a solution to the problem that was hampering me. I found that I could indeed sew with the machine. I found that I could reduce the bulk by tapering the sections that I'd sewn. Next I'm going to work on building the rest of the body. I don't know what it's like for other people but creation for me isn't a linear process. I find myself building sections at a time that don't even connect. Not so ironic that I call them Chaos Dolls.
Dolls of Chaos
Currently I'm working on the third doll in my chaos dolls series. I have the idea of what I want to do, but translating it seems to be an issue. I'm anxious to continue working on it, but I need to figure out a way around the issue I've encountered. I think I know what I need to try instead. I'm wondering if my sewing machine will take the abuse. Theoretically it should... I would like to get past this little snafu. I have a doll I want to make! The problem I'm running in to is pleating. I'm trying to create a pleated stomach. I think the way I want to go about it, I am making it more difficult than I really need to.
