Sheep Dolly
Well it was only a matter of time... having my mom's sewing machine and serger, I decided to try a doll. It's a bit primitive and made of fabric. I painted it with a coat of gesso and then a coat of acrylic paint. It is quite a sturdy sheep, about 19 inches tall. I really enjoyed making it from creating the pattern to the finishing touches of a copper heart (that will eventually get a green patina over time).
