Hermione Doll Art

I've been so busy trying to finish holiday exchange fics that I forgot to post these! I made another Potter-themed doll back in October. I made her for a dual purpose; I put her in a Halloween contest and so, as a result, she's a bit more...glam...than Hermione would likely dress, heh. Okay, say it, she's miniskirted and a tart! But g'wan, take a look anyway.







Yes, beaded boots! Well, I never claimed to be a professional at this. I did try to keep the face painting on the modest, non-tarty side though, and am happy with that. That little thing that looks like a garter is actually holding her wand holster on the side. Crookshanks is made out of clay and so's her wand.



She started life as a Mystery Squad Kenzie, so, I can't take any credit for the hair, it came like that.

I want to rub his tummy. It looks so soft and fat and furry. :D

The boots were so form-fitting I had to sew the beading while they were ON her, or I wouldn't have made the lines straight!

SHE'S SO SPAKRLY!! I love that she's completely bedazzled, oh it just gives me so much joy. Her hat perched atop her little bushy head and the shortshort skirt and thigh high boots....Hermione's out for a night on the town. WITH CROOKSHANKS, THAT CAT IS THE BEST EVER. I love its angry little face SO MUCH.

*loves loves loves*

I had to do something with the bead work that was a) in my capabilities and b) not too ridiculous! ^_^

Hee! I really had fun moulding Crookshanks! Next time I'll try for a 3-D face but I just didn't have the guts. XD *hughugs*

If I remember well 14 year old Hermione's Yule Ball attire in the movie, this surely not too daring for her, right? ;D
I love it, especially your color choices - cold purple and warm brown are not the colors I ever tried to put together, but they look great here. And Crookshanks is amazing. By his expression, he is SO not amused! :)))

Eee, that turned out wonderful! I love the hair and the beads and I don't care if it's glam! Hermione's allowed to dress up for halloween.

Lovely Hermione doll :) And yes, I agree that she's sexy. I love the texture of her costume, and Crookshanks is really cute.

Wow, I love that. The hekc with how much it look s or does not look like Hermione, that outfit is wonderfully creative and looks stunning. Excellent job on the doll all around!

[identity profile] moonie22.livejournal.com 2005-12-11 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! Thats so cute! You did a wonderful job. and those boots! wow...I wish I had some!!! Crookshanks is just hanging, and that holster just makes the look even more realistic hehe

Awesome Hermione, down to the hair hehe...A perfect Hermione doll

That is too cute! I am in love with the garter/wand holster, and the look on Crookshanks' face is perfect!

Do you have lots of other dolls? Putting them together for a picture story would be great (with different poses, backgrounds, and text to go with).

Crookshanks is *perfect*. Do you work with seed beads often? I haven't done anything with mine for a while, but I make jewelry out of them.

She's fantastic! I especially like the gloves/sleeves. Those beads must have taken you ages. I've never heard of Mystery Squad. Is it a tv show with toy spinoffs or something like that?

Like in Abe/Kroenen?

That would be seriously cool.

That's awesome!!! The dress is perhaps a tiny bit too short for Hermione *G*, but other than that it looks spot on. I love that you have Crookshanks in it as well! Very cool creation! ^___^

Eeee, she's fabulous! Her hair is absolutely perfect and Crookshanks is adorable! I love his expression. :D

The small glimpse of upper arm skin is very sexy :p

The intricate attention to detail is amazing and her boots are very cute, but Crookshanks takes the biscuit <3

The boots. 'Nuff said.

Fantastic! *runs to join*

Crookshanks was lots of fun especially. ^_^

You know, [livejournal.com profile] nimori suggested Hermione would wear "earth tones" and I suddenly saw brown, but not with green; I decided to go with purple! Don't know why, but that's what came out, hee.

You know, I was reluctant to say, "And I got the idea for the color scheme from [livejournal.com profile] nimori because I thought, what if everyone hates the color scheme? Why should you have to take any blame? XD

[identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Hey, Hermione's entitled to get a lil' sexy once in a while, I say. ^_^

[identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
You sweetheart, thank you so much! *smooches*

The wand holster was fun! I shoulda taken better pictures of it; it's even got a little quick-draw angle to it. ^_^
