The Grapevine Girls - Allison Marano
| “Working small” can be a
challenge for cloth doll makers. In this class, you will learn how to
convey just the right amount of detail when posing the body, sculpting and
coloring the face, and creating the tiny hands of these diminutive 9-1/2
inch fairies. The focus for costuming will be to expand on simple applied
techniques for creating everything from the wings to the shoes. Alison
will teach you how to do controlled needle sculpting and coloring a small
face and assembly of body parts to convey realistic postures.
You will also learn how to do the difficult task of creating posed,
proportionate hands from wire and paper clay.
Then enjoy the process of Allison’s way of applied costuming:
wrapping the body. Specialized costuming will include creating stitched
grape leaf wings with organza and free motion machine embroidery. |
