Six Dangerous Women

For another exchange, I decided to modify my earlier "dangerous women" design. I rarely work from a pattern anyway, so any time I decide to repeat a design, it's not likely to turn out the same as the original.

This series of six dolls, created in mid-2000, were each about five inches tall, not including the hair. The bodies were made with preshrunk 100% cotton, the hair was "doll hair" wool, only loosely tugged to give it volume. The face was drawn on with waterproof pens, and then ironed on with Stitch Witchery.

The arms and legs were stuffed before being attached to the body. Then, I added a star charm to one hand on each doll. Finally, I sewed on sheer wings (not shown).

Each doll was machine stitched, except for the final seam where she sits down, and that was closed by hand after stuffing.
