This year I'm one of seven ODACA Artists creating our luncheon centerpieces. Here are a few sneak peeks. The final reveal will be after ODACA Day this summer.

Viola Ruth
Today I finished my Viola Ruth doll. I last made a doll from this pattern in 2017.
Update: stadium seat for Viola Ruth

Making Progress: Viola Ruth
Making progress on my Viola Ruth doll. It's always risky to apply a crackling/antiquing product. Not sure if I'm happy with the look this time, but it's too late now!
Next I'll be attaching her legs and getting started on her clothing. Her dress will be the brown print, and her pinafore from the tiny gingham. Her simple pantaloons are already completed.

A New Amity Doll
https://blue-heron-dolls.kit.com/posts/countdown-to-odaca-day-a-new-doll
I've been working in the studio the past few days, admittedly procrastinating (putting off making my steampunk centerpiece doll for ODACA Day). So, I went with something known to me, but not necessarily simpler due to the amount of hand work required - especially her hair.
This is "Amity" made from my pattern, reduced in size to 78% of the original. I recycled a wool cycling jersey to create her black shrug.
Her wool felt beret is pinned in place while it dries. She's just waiting for a belt and face touchup before her official photo shoot tomorrow. She will be in New Orleans this summer for ODACA Day in New Orleans.
Update: Amity is finished
