He has even hinged her legs at the knees&peg jointed them.It is amazing to me,that this is all carved from wood! I was amazed when he decided for his first Queen Anne to be one from this time period! I was hoping simply for one of the late 1700's one's,with the simple round head,triangle nose&straight legs! I think he has done a marvelous job!
He has done all Gessoeing(is that a word?*wink*)painting&aging,himself.The only painting I have done,is her facial features.We have decided she needs a very royal looking Red Sheep's Wool for her hair.I have just set it in place,so you can have a general idea,of how she will look with her hair.
He was inspired by a doll in the wonderful book"The Heart of the Tree".She is from the 1680's!

YOWZA. What a wonderful doll! And I think QA's are a little freaky, truth be told, but you have done a GREAT job. :-)

This is amazing right down to the beauty mark. She is surely an heirloom in the making. And what have you chosen for her garments, rich velvet, tattered silk... I can hardly wait to see.
