I bought this tutorial for making
A Little Mo doll about two months ago, way before I started sculpting, and finally gave it a go.
The tutorial is excellent; well written and detailed, and the doll artist, Paulette Morrissey, has an entire town full of adorable little dolls, called
Fern Lake

I had the idea in my head of a little girl watching her big sister get ready for a 70's party, then demanding to be dressed up too. This resulted in Melanie, a little girl with attitude, even though she's doing the peace sign with her right hand.
If the photos were better you'd see she got into her sister's makup and put cover up all around her eyes, like a raccoon, then put not one but two sparkly flowers on her face. She threw a tantrum until her sister made her a headband to match her dress, too.

Melanie has long wavy super soft strawberry blonde mohair, a dusting of freckles that don't show up in photos, and baby blue eyes. Her entire body is polymer clay, as are her slippers and socks. She can stand but is wobbly so is better off leaning against something.
Little Mo dolls normally have clay hair but I wanted to try mohair, and am pleased with the results.

I crocheted the dress with matching undies and headband for her.

She's bigger than my other sculpts, but still a tiny thing.
I love my little flower child, especially her long soft hair, and the expression on her face. I wish I could get good pictures of her; I tried at night, and again early in the morning. Maybe afternoon light would be better?
