I don't seem to be able to keep working on one class project lately, so a the moment, I'm working on three: Cindee Moyee's
Equestrienne II and
Elusive Butterfly and Edwina Sutherland's
Yvette, A Costumed Lady. Each one is different and uses different techniques. I'm enjoying myself despite the occasional guilty feeling I experience because I'm behind in three online classes simultaneously.

Equestrienne II is almost done |
I've done several of Cindee Moyer's online classes; enough to be ready to try variations of the instructions she gives. Rather than dupioni silk, for the doll's bodice, I used a scrap of Pink Gold Purple Hologram Stretch Lycra Fabric. Since the fabric did stretch, I backed it with muslin to prevent an overstuffed Equestrienne. The resulting body looks good.
My mistake happened when I made the head. Rather than using doll skin, which is what Cindee Moyer usually uses, I used a scrap of muslin. I've used both muslin and doll skin on various projects, so I'm familiar with both. My only concern about using muslin on this project is that the fabric will not stretch enough when it is stuffed. However, since the head is sewn and ready to stuff and I'm already behind in my class, I may as well see how a muslin head turns out.

Elusive Butterfly is coming along nicely. |
Once I finish the Equestrenne doll, I'll need to sculpt a horse.

At the moment, Yvette is a naked, bald doll. |
