Ball Jointed Doll #2

This time I wanted a smaller and better articulated doll. Instead of sculpting over an aluminum form like I did the first time, I sculpted the legs over drinking straws so I could work in smaller scale.
She ended up being 8.5" tall. Here you see a couple WIP photos, before the many hours of sanding I did....

Here below you see Amber comfortably sitting after a first face-up session, waiting for me to finish making that mohair wig....

.... and here she is all happy with her long light blond hair.
A few more shots around the yard....
Here she is wearing a vintage doll dress I bought at a doll show. It fits her perfectly and it gives her the "little Match girl" look.....
