New Doll! Red Lady

This was my project yesterday. I was inspired by those Indonesian puppets construction-wise. This doll’s head is made out of Fimo, I sculpted her face, then baked the clay and hand painted the features. I used a wide screw to serve as the neck which is screwed onto a plaster torso that I also made. Her base under the dress is a bottle filled with sand. Her dress and hair is made with re-purposed materials, her leather belt is adorned with hand sewn pieces of shell. I wanted her to be somewhat pose-able, as you can see, she also can have different hair styles. I plan on making some stop-motion animations using her as my model. I also hand-painted & fabric collaged the masonite background that she was photographed on.
