I need another project like I need a....

So I have some pictures of what I have been busy doing the last couple of days. I don't have a lot to say as it is late and 6am comes way too early (what was that Robin Williams line in 'good morning Vietnam'? "It is 0 six hundred and what does the o stand for? OH my God it's early!") Yeah I am not a morning person.
So I wanted to make an art doll. I have done them before but not with any seriousness even though I enjoyed it.
I decided, call me crazy, to make my own pattern. HA HA, easier said than done. Actually I learned a lot from season four of Project Runway!
When I got down to it, I decided a dress makers dummy of the torso would help me make the clothes for the dolls and it would also help me with the original pattern.
So I sewed and I stuffed and I un-stuffed and I resewed and I pinned and I pulled and on and on. And this is what happened. I have learned a lot. I am on #2 now. Of the dummy's that is. Not the dolls.

As you can see I still need to figure out lots of things about this, but I am nothing if not persistent.
