Showing the dolls that are fully complete and in process doll as the embroidery for the underdress dress is going to take some time to complete. Although I have much to consider as I am making the hat for the in process doll, Louise Juliana. I need to locate some more dinfinitive feathers for the hat, something like shiny rooster tail feathers. Seems with all the animal products and biproducts, medievals were definitely not a vegan based. I do wonder how a vegan could find options within the sca. Lots of substitutes is what I would guess, how interesting the modern vs medieval. Sometimes similar and occasionally wholey different.
I was able to locate more wooden artist mannequins for the last 3 dolls. I began the process of gesso and covering in clay to sculpt face and hands. It’s have 3 more of these from the portrait paintings in my binder of doll documentation. Many of these are similar other than clothing, so going to make combined documentation for the last two groups.
There is one more extra large size doll to complete I think almost almost 24” tall. She is quite a larger one, this is for the painting of anonymous child age 3 and her doll that looks like a child. It’s the only instance I have found of doll that looks more like a child than a full grown woman. Plus it gives similar dressed doll astothe child in the painting. Reminds me of “My Size Barbie” when I was little which the clothes where almost twins for the child and the doll.
So lots to do and consider,
