Frida Fridays: Fridita Doll

I've been really enjoying the process of doll making and have made a few since my first post. I knew that as soon as we started on this whole Viva La Frida Craft Swap fun that I would definitely be making Frida doll!

​My head spun in 20 directions when deciding which details would be best to include in the doll because Frida Kahlo had so iconic outfits. I tried looking at photos of the exhibit of her clothing and I picked out three elements to incorporate into the doll:
1. geometric patterns
2. lace
3. flowers

And yes when I'm making dolls I TOTALLY talk to them, make them dance, and just get pretty goofy.  I can't help myself. I like using mostly scrap materials when I make dolls. I think it makes them a little more unique. In this case, I realized I didn't have any black felt for her hair so I decided to use dark purple.  ​

I teach myself more and more about this process every time I make a new one. Like this time I decided to change the stitch length and put less stuffing in the arms and legs so they were easier to attach.
