ADQ Book Character Challenge!

I am working on two dolls for the Art Doll Quarterly
Book Character Challenge... coming up in a few months.
I have decided to create the Brownie Twins, 
from Palmer Cox's book series: Tutti and Frutti 
The body armature is made with deer suede, stuffed with fiber-fill.
The heads are sculpted with paper clay and then I added some
hardwood buttons that I found in my shop, for the eyes.
I need to add a bit more paper clay around the eyes... 
then begin to work on their hands and clothes. Ugh!
They are about 17 inches tall, self-standing on wooden dowel legs
and hardboard feet.
Yes... they make me smile!
Thanks so much for stopping by... Daryle
