The Dollhouse Dolls

So now that these two are faceupped and wigged and clothed (sort of), here’s a shot of my dollyhouse sized couple, Illuminated Doll Iphigenia and Garmonsway Chris. They both still need me to decide what their names are. These are two little 1/12 scale people who will inhabit the dollhouse my Grandpa and I started to make a few years ago, and which I will finish.

The Chris has been slightly modded across his shoulders. I did the faceups, blush and wigs myself, so they’re not fantastic but I like them. His wig is made of silk fiber, and hers is that tibetan wool stuff I had some of, from another project. I found out it’s much more manageable and less floofy if I use a little hair moisturizer spray, well brushed-in and dried off.

I might give the Chris some chin scruff. He looks like a guy who might have chin scruff. Also, he needs real clothes. Her dress is passably elegant but he’s in unhemmed knit leggings; the man needs me to make him a decent outfit.

Illuminated Doll Iphigenia

Put a faceup on my Illuminated Doll Iphigenia, who needs a name. She ended up with dark green eyes and she will probably get dark hair but we shall see. This lousy pic doesn’t show the colors well. She's sooo tiny! She's cast in a tan that's a very rosy purple brown, and does not have eyewells for changeable eyes. She is meant to be 1/12 dollhouse size, and I've got a beau for her in the same scale. Pics soon. The two of them will be a pair of magicians living in the dollhouse my Grandpa and I built.

I think I am going to paint in shadows on her ears so that they look like they have the detail that isn’t sculpted in. I feel I could now paint an eyeball on half a grain of rice, as her eyes are about that size. Uff.
