Hermione Doll Art

[amanuensis1]

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.

Hee! Oh, she's adorable! I love the expression on Crookshanks's face, and oh, mama, those boots!

*giggles* Thank you! Really, I wanted to dress her without so much frill, but when it comes to female dolls in doll contests, you either need to be very very good or there has to be beading. It's like, the law. ^_^

Oh wow, she's lovely! I'd be all over her if I were Ron. Or any male, I guess. *g*

Hee, when I showed her to the S.O., he gave me what he knew I'd take as the perfect compliment: "I'd totally do her." ^_^

Crookshanks is the cutest EVER! And she's as cute as all get out, Amy. Lovely job.

That's just so gorgeous. :D And Crookshanks is just beyond adorable.

I love the addition of the garter. :D!!! And Crookshanks! Man, you are mastery with the clay. :)

Dang, and I was just going to ask you about the hair when I saw the last line! I've just gotten into doll modding, and I've been having a hell of a time getting good bushy hair.

She looks awesome, though!

Awww! Yer so sweet. Comin' from a gifted artist like yerself! *glomps*

When I made my first doll it had little clay animals as props, and I looked at them and at the doll and thought, "You probably could have more talent for the clay than for the painting." Wah! Oh, well, at least I have fun. ^_^

Yeah, I can tell you the basics of the boil perm, and how to straighten, but the best advice I can give to a beginning one-of-a-kind doll artist is: build the doll around the preexisting hair. ^_^

Aw! Fandom should take multimedia form more often.

[ceilidh]

Eee that is so cute!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yes, it should! Stuffed toys and wall hangings, and, oh, and everything!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I had fun. ^_^ Thank you!

When I first conceived of the doll, I knew there HAD to be a Crookshanks!

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

Ohhh...contest! Did you win?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Hee, no, but I made a good showing. I looked at the others and thought mine fell respectably in the middle range of skills. I have placed in a previous Halloween contest, though!

Wow she's fantastic! I love her blue fingernails. Crookshanks is adorable.

You're so talented! Do you have more?

[orange-bastard.livejournal.com]

Never mind, I just saw them. Just one thing, why aren't they having sex?!!
