Am 31 years 4 months old today.
Shaving side of my head hasn't anything to do with it though.
My first doll/figurine called Herja is now finished. Made few mistakes, but not very significant. Outfit is made of leather, hair-out of silk.
Pictures are of poor quality, but will sort that out when my Canon arrives. Can't give precise measurements of Herja's body right now, as she still remains at Grandpa's workshop. There is one final thing to be done-to bore a hole in her bottom and attach a nail/wire to the wooden stand. This way she might be taken off the stand and be placed anywhere (shelf and etc.).
Now I'm working on Thor's figurine-he'll be slightly smaller, but Herja doesn't belong to my planned series of scandinavian gods, so it doesn't matter. I have almost finished Thor's head and am quite satisfied. He'll be sitting as well, wearing some detailed armour with real leather on it and holding a helmet and of course his Hammer. Might add the iron gloves too. Generally rather fierce looking handsome badass, hah. Don't know what of his hair-it'll be made of Sculpey I suppose, unless I get some nice brown or terra coloured silk. I checked on allegro and brown is avaiable, however it isn't especially attractive shade. Rather dull I'd say. And orange silk is far too orangey to my liking...Might need black and white as well-the latter for Odin's head. And I have some of my own hair to be used for doll making!
There is hope for custom made butterfly/moth brooch again and maybe a hat. Would be great.
