The Memory Box

I have had so much fun creating this doll around a box to display some special treasures. A small family gallery, some treasured souvenirs of times gone by AND some wonderful flea market finds from trips to Europe. A real neat project to personalize.

This wonderful design hangs about 22 inches and is meant to hang on a wall. The face is soft sculpted on knit fabric and her simple yet delicate hand is wired to hold a pose.

All the cloth doll basics will be incorporated into the class along with the interesting assembly of this doll around the box, rubber stamping on silk fabric, stuffing techniques and full facial coloration.

We will construct a simple wire cage from which to hang and display your treasures. All of this will sit a top a candlestick holder to give her height and stature.
